Description

This cinnamon roll breakfast casserole is an indulgent yet easy-to-make dish, perfect for brunch or holiday mornings. With gooey cinnamon roll pieces, a creamy egg mixture, and a sweet frosting drizzle, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tubes canned cinnamon roll dough (12.4 oz each, frosting packets reserved)
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup half-and-half
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ⅓ cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • ⅓ cup sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  • Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and set the frosting packets aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Toss the cinnamon roll pieces in the egg mixture until evenly coated. Spread the pieces in the prepared baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar with the chopped pecans. Sprinkle this mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed and golden brown.
  • While the casserole cools slightly, whisk the frosting packets with sour cream to create a tangy glaze.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the casserole before serving warm.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider mixing in diced apples, raisins, or chocolate chips.
  • To make ahead, assemble the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake fresh in the morning.
  • Substitute whole milk for half-and-half if needed, but the result may be less creamy.
