Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut 8 large refrigerated cinnamon rolls into quarters and spread evenly in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 cups whole milk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until smooth and combined.
  3. Step 3: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces, pressing gently to soak. Let sit for 10 minutes to absorb the custard.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle 1 tbsp melted butter over the top and bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
  5. Step 5: While baking, blend 4 oz softened cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 tbsp milk until smooth for the glaze.
  6. Step 6: Remove casserole from oven and drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm casserole before serving.
