Ingredients

4 large cinnamon rolls (store-bought or homemade)

4 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 cup maple syrup (plus extra for serving)

1 tablespoon butter (for frying)

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Fresh fruit (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters. This gives you bite-sized pieces that will fry nicely.

Make the French Toast Custard: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/4 cup of maple syrup until well combined.

Soak the Cinnamon Roll Pieces: Gently place the cinnamon roll pieces into the custard mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Let them soak for about 10 minutes, flipping occasionally.

Heat the Pan: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to sizzle.

Cook the French Toast Bites: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the soaked cinnamon roll pieces to the hot skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Repeat Cooking: Continue to cook in batches, adding more butter to the pan as necessary until all the pieces are fried.

Serve: Arrange the French toast bites on a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with extra maple syrup. If desired, add fresh fruit for garnish to enhance the presentation.
