Ingredients
- 1 package frozen caramel rolls
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Remove the frozen caramel rolls from their packaging and arrange them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, allowing a small amount of space between each roll.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over the caramel rolls, ensuring that each roll is thoroughly coated. Use a spoon or spatula to gently turn the rolls to make sure they are completely saturated.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, allowing the rolls to absorb the egg mixture completely.
- In the morning, remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to take the chill off.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove the plastic wrap and place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the egg mixture is set. The tops should be crispy and the caramel should be bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let the French toast rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the caramel to set slightly.
- Dust with powdered sugar just before serving. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, caramel-rich breakfast treat.
Tips
- Ensure even egg mixture coating by gently turning rolls and using a spoon to distribute the liquid evenly.
- For best results, let the dish sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before baking to ensure even cooking.
- Watch the caramel closely during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent burning.
- Use a high-quality non-stick baking dish or generously grease your pan to prevent sticking.
- For extra indulgence, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of additional caramel sauce.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven for a crispy texture.
- For a flavor variation, sprinkle chopped nuts or add a dash of nutmeg to the egg mixture.
