Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls:

Open the cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Arrange the quartered cinnamon rolls evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Make the Egg Mixture:

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Assemble the Casserole:

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls in the baking dish, ensuring all pieces are coated.
-
Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top of the casserole.

-
Bake:
-
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
-
Add the Icing and Serve:
-
While the casserole is baking, heat the icing from the cinnamon rolls in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, or until soft and drizzle-able.
-
Once the casserole is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the warmed icing over the top.

Finish with a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness.

Serve:

Allow the casserole to cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes
-
You can make this casserole ahead of time by assembling it the night before, covering it, and refrigerating overnight. Bake it the next morning for a quick and easy breakfast.
-
For a twist, try adding chocolate chips or raisins to the casserole before baking.
-
If you prefer a nut-free version, you can leave out the pecans or substitute with chopped walnuts or almonds.
