Print Recipe

A warm, comforting breakfast casserole made from refrigerated cinnamon rolls baked with a rich cream cheese frosting and custard mixture. Perfect for cozy mornings and easy to prepare in under 45 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (8 count) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or any milk of choice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Open the package of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and separate them slightly. Arrange them evenly in the baking dish.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and a pinch of salt until fully combined and frothy.
  5. Pour the cream cheese frosting mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls, spreading it into the crevices.
  6. Slowly pour the egg and milk mixture over everything, allowing it to seep into the rolls.
  7. Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes to absorb the custard.
  8. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  10. Optional: Drizzle leftover cream cheese frosting or a fresh glaze made from powdered sugar and milk on top.

Notes

Letting the casserole rest before baking helps the custard soak into the rolls for a soft, custardy texture. Cover with foil if browning too fast. Use refrigerated cinnamon rolls for convenience or homemade rolls fully risen for best texture. Optional toppings include nuts, fresh fruit, or maple syrup.
