I’m back with another recipe that’s sure to knock your socks off: Cinnamon Roll French Toast. I don’t know about you, but there’s nothing I love more than a sweet and comforting breakfast, and this dish hits all the right notes.
Let me tell you a little bit about how I came up with this recipe. I was in the mood for something indulgent and sweet, but I didn’t want to go through the trouble of making actual cinnamon rolls. So, I decided to combine two of my favorite breakfast foods: French toast and cinnamon rolls.
The result was a heavenly creation that I’ve been making ever since. The bread slices are thick and fluffy, with a crispy exterior that gives way to a soft and creamy interior. The cream cheese mixture is tangy and rich, with just the right amount of sweetness from the brown sugar and spices. And the icing on top is the perfect finishing touch, with a silky texture and a delicious vanilla flavor.
Now, I recommend using brioche or challah bread for the best results, but if you don’t have those on hand, regular bread will work just fine. The important thing is to make sure the bread slices are thick and sturdy, so they can hold up to the egg mixture and cream cheese filling.
Now, when I make this recipe, I get compliments from everyone who tries it. It’s the perfect dish to make for a special occasion or just a lazy weekend morning. It’s also easy to adjust the recipe based on how many people you’re feeding. Just increase or decrease the number of bread slices and adjust the amount of egg mixture and icing accordingly.
So, there you have it, folks. Cinnamon Roll French Toast: the ultimate breakfast indulgence. I hope you give it a try and enjoy it as much as I do. And don’t forget to experiment with the recipe and make it your own. Maybe try adding some fresh fruit or a drizzle of caramel on top. Whatever you do, just have fun with it.
Thanks for reading, y’all. Now go and enjoy your Cinnamon Roll French Toast!

The Directions
For the French Toast:
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar until well combined. Add in the softened cream cheese and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure that it is fully coated on both sides.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the unsalted butter. Add the coated bread slices to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Repeat the previous step until all the bread slices are cooked, adding more butter as needed.
For the Icing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the icing over the French toast while it is still warm, and serve immediately.
