Ingredients
  

4 large cinnamon rolls (store-bought or homemade, preferably day-old)

4 large eggs

1 cup milk (whole or your choice)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon sugar (optional, adjust for sweetness)

A pinch of salt

Butter or oil, for frying

Maple syrup, for serving

Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Fresh berries (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: If using store-bought cinnamon rolls, you can warm them slightly in the microwave (about 10-15 seconds) to make slicing easier. Cut each cinnamon roll in half horizontally, creating two thick halves.

    Make the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar (if using), and a pinch of salt until well combined.

      Soak the Cinnamon Rolls: Dip each half of the cinnamon roll into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for about 20-30 seconds on each side. Ensure they are coated well but not falling apart.

        Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or griddle, heat a tablespoon of butter or oil over medium heat until melted and hot. You can test if it's ready by flicking a drop of water into the pan; if it sizzles, you're good to go!

          Cook the French Toast: Place the soaked cinnamon roll halves in the pan, cut side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisped. You may want to cook in batches depending on the size of your skillet.

            Serve: Once cooked, remove from the pan and place on serving plates. Drizzle generously with maple syrup, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and top with fresh berries for an extra pop of flavor and color.

              Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy this decadent twist on classic French toast!
