📝 Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Place the quartered cinnamon rolls into the prepared baking dish, distributing them evenly.
Pour the egg and milk mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces, ensuring that each piece is well coated.
Gently press down on the cinnamon rolls to help them absorb the liquid, then sprinkle with chopped pecans if using.
💡 Chef's Tips
For a more decadent casserole, drizzle the cinnamon rolls with additional icing or a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk after baking.
If you prefer a less sweet casserole, reduce the granulated sugar by half or omit the brown sugar altogether.
Let the casserole sit for about 10 minutes after baking to allow the liquid to set before serving.
