Ingredients
2 cans (12.4 oz each) refrigerated cinnamon rolls (reserve the icing)
5 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup turkey bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease your 9×13 inch baking dish.
Open the cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into 4 equal pieces using a serrated knife.
Distribute the pieces evenly across the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with crumbled turkey bacon if using.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces and let sit for 5 minutes.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the reserved icing over the hot casserole.
Notes
You can assemble the dish the night before, cover it, and keep it in the fridge. Simply add 5 extra minutes to your baking time if cooking from chilled.
