Description

Indulge in the ultimate breakfast treat! This Cinnamon Roll Stuffed French Toast is not only fluffy and delicious but also topped with a rich bourbon drizzle that takes it to the next level. Perfect for brunch gatherings or a special morning at home.


Ingredients

Scale

4 thick slices of bread (Texas toast or challah)

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 can (8 oz) cinnamon rolls (with icing)

Butter, for cooking

Powdered sugar, for serving


Instructions

1. 1. Begin by preparing the cinnamon rolls according to the package instructions. Allow them to cool slightly, then cut each roll in half.

2. 2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.

3. 3. Take one slice of bread and place a half cinnamon roll in the center. Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich.

4. 4. Dip the sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.

5. 5. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter. Cook the stuffed French toast for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

6. 6. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the bourbon, brown sugar, and butter over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

7. 7. Remove the French toast from the skillet and drizzle with the bourbon sauce. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding chopped pecans or walnuts to the bourbon drizzle.

You can also substitute the bourbon with maple syrup for a non-alcoholic version.

This dish pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit or whipped cream.
