Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F and coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Slice each cinnamon roll into four equal quarters using a sharp knife.
- Arrange the quartered cinnamon roll pieces evenly across the prepared baking dish.

- Whisk the entire egg mixture until smooth and fully combined.
- Gently pour the liquid mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces, ensuring even coverage.

- Transfer the baking dish to the preheated 350°F oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top turns golden brown and the center sets.

Notes
- Save time by using store-bought cinnamon rolls to make this breakfast casserole super quick and simple.
- Stale or day-old cinnamon rolls work best because they’ll absorb the egg mixture more effectively.
- Prep the casserole the night before and refrigerate, then bake in the morning for an easy make-ahead breakfast.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular cinnamon rolls with gluten-free rolls and use alternative milk like almond or oat milk.
