Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Casserole
What is Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Casserole?
Cinnamon rolls are baked in the same dish that’s used to make the casserole (we don’t like doing a lot of dishes either!). The baked rolls are cut into pieces and spread in the bottom of the dish and dolloped with a filling of cream cheese, sugar, and milk. A cinnamon-egg mixture gets poured over all. Our cinnamon roll breakfast casserole is then refrigerated overnight, so all that cinnamony goodness gets soaked into the rolls. In the morning, all you have to do is bake the rolls and drizzle them with the icing that comes with the rolls. It’s decadent!
How Can I Serve this Breakfast Casserole?
We love scrambled eggs with cheese and some fresh fruit such as cut-up oranges or berries making friends with the cinnamon roll breakfast bake! If you like, serve it buffet style, letting everyone help themselves as they wake up.
