Welcome to the indulgent world of Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites. This treat is a delightful fusion of two classic favourites – the unique texture of French toast meets the sweet allurement of cinnamon rolls. It’s a perfect dish to up your brunch game.
## Why make this recipe:
Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites are remarkably easy to prepare and cook. They’re essentially cinnamon roll pieces coated in a sweet, cinnamony egg mixture and then pan-fried to golden perfection. This blissful combo of cinnamon rolls and French toast takes regular breakfast fare to an exciting new level.
## How to make Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites:
## Ingredients:
– 1 tube refrigerated cinnamon rolls
– 3 large eggs
– 1/3 cup milk
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
– 2 tbsp butter
## Directions:
1. Warm up your non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Divide the cinnamon rolls and cut each piece into four.
3. Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl until thoroughly mixed.
4. Dunk each quarter of the cinnamon roll into the egg concoction, making sure it’s well covered.

## How to serve Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites:

## How to store Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container. You can keep them in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in a microwave or on a skillet over low heat until warm throughout.
## Tips to make Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bites:
1. Cut your cinnamon rolls into even quarters to ensure uniform cooking.
