Ingredients
  

For the French Toast Bites
  • 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with icing)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • to taste none Cinnamon for flavoring
  • Butter for cooking Butter

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Open the can of cinnamon rolls and separate each roll. Cut each roll into quarters to create bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a sprinkle of cinnamon until well combined.
Cooking
  1. Dip each piece of cinnamon roll into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
  2. In a large skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat until it sizzles.
  3. Place the coated pieces of cinnamon roll in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove the cooked bites from the pan and drizzle with the icing that came with your cinnamon rolls. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon if desired.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruits.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the pan for even cooking. You can use day-old cinnamon rolls for better absorption of the egg mixture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
