How to Make Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Casserole
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cut cinnamon rolls into 1/2-inch pieces (6 pieces per roll) and evenly cover the bottom of the baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until pale yellow. Add the milk, cream, sugar and vanilla.
- Whisk together until egg mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour custard over the cinnamon roll dough in the baking dish. Let set for 10 minutes while you make the topping.

- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and starting to crisp on top but still a bit wobbly overall.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before drizzling with the cinnamon roll icing.
How to Store Cinnamon Roll Breakfast Casserole
Store: To save leftover cinnamon roll breakfast casserole, allow to cool completely after baking. Then cover tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to four days. The longer it sets, the softer it will become.
To reheat in the microwave, place a single portion on a microwave safe plate. Microwave for 15-20 seconds or until heated through. To reheat in the oven, place the bread pudding in a baking dish in the oven at 300°F for about 8-10 minutes or until heated through.
Making it in Advance?
To make cinnamon roll breakfast casserole in advance, prepare the breakfast casserole in the baking dish up to one day in advance before baking it. Simply prepare to just before baking it and then cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake it.
When you’re ready to bake the cinnamon roll casserole, remove it from the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap. Let it set at room temperature while you preheat the oven to 350°F and then bake as instructed.
