This is a great recipe when you have a full house or when everyone is home for the holidays. It’s so easy and so delicious!! You can swap out the milk for cream if you wish, but I kept this relatively healthy.

In a large bowl, add the eggs, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, melted butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Mix with a fork to thoroughly combine.

Next, place the halved rolls onto a greased lined baking sheet. They should all fit snuggly. I alternated tops up, then tops down, to create an interesting pattern.

 

Using a fork prick the halved rolls 2-3 times each. Pour the egg mixture over all the rolls going slowly.

Important step:

Turn over every piece to get fully saturated with the egg, lightly press down and move onto the the next one and repeat this until every piece has been flipped twice back to its original position. Let it sit about 10 minutes or a longer. Add a tiny sprinkling more of cinnamon to tops.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Bake for 15 minutes. Turn pan and bake an additional 10 minutes until firm.

Top the entire sheet pan with the sugar-cinnamon mixture using a sieve. Gently tap to add it all over the French toast.

Cut individual pieces and dip into maple syrup. You can place them all onto a serving dish or leave in the baking sheet where they will remain hot.

Enjoy!
