Cinnamon rolls are always a special occasion, but sometimes you want all the flavors of gooey cinnamon rolls without the work and rise time! That’s where this Cinnamon Roll Stuffed French Toast comes into play. With brioche bread, gooey cinnamon roll filling, and a cinnamon roll glaze you won’t even miss the fluffy cinnamon rolls.
Ingredients
- Brioche Bread – brioche has a really great buttery rich flavor that resembles cinnamon roll dough, but any bread works.
- Butter – for the cinnamon roll filling
- Brown Sugar – for the cinnamon roll filling
- Cinnamon – for the cinnamon roll filling
- Eggs – can you have French toast without eggs?
- Heavy Cream – upping the richness by using heavy cream in the egg mixture instead of milk. Can swap for milk or half and half. Also used in the glaze.
- Vanilla – I used vanilla bean paste, but vanilla extract works just as well.
- Powdered Sugar – for the cinnamon roll glaze
- Cream Cheese – for the cinnamon roll glaze
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients for the cinnamon roll glaze in a small bowl. Set aside for later.
- In a small bowl combine softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix to combine.
- Spread butter mixture onto half of the slices of bread, then top with remaining slices of bread to make a sandwich.
- In a shallow pan add eggs, vanilla, and heavy cream. Mix to combine.
- Dip each sandwich of bread into egg mixture, allowing the sandwich to absorb the liquid for a minute or two on each side.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter.
- Add bread to the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown (about 2 minutes) then flip and cook until golden brown again. Repeat with all sandwiches.
- Top each sandwich with glaze and enjoy immediately.
