Inspired by Hearthstone’s Chameleos card from the Witchwood Expansion, I thought this recipe was perfect to represent the transforming reptile! I like to think of this dish as a cinnamon roll transforming into french toast! To see my entire Hearthstone Menu click here!
My husband who is amazingly creative and talented thought it would be cool to draw Chameleos on top! It turned out so good!
To do this he sketched Chameleos on a piece of printer paper, cut it out, then set it on top of the casserole when it was done baking (but before we frosted it!). Then he sprinkled brown sugar over the entire thing, leaving a nice outline of Chameleos on the casserole when he removed the piece of paper.
He then used a piping bag to draw Chameleos with the cinnamon roll icing!
It turned out amazing! But if you or your significant other is not an artist, have no fear, you can still make this easy cinnamon roll french toast!
How to make cinnamon roll french toast:
- Cut up the cinnamon rolls and place in a buttered baking dish.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk cinnamon, and vanilla and pour over cinnamon roll cubes.
- Pour the maple syrup over everything, sprinkle with some brown sugar and then bake!
Why is my cinnamon roll french toast a little soggy on the bottom?
You want to make sure you bake this cinnamon roll french toast casserole until it is cooked all the way through! I know Tasty put out a very similar recipe to this and said to bake it for only 25 minutes! 25 minutes will leave you with a half cooked breakfast- no one wants that!
I recommend baking for 45-50 minutes. Make sure to place some foil over the dish about halfway through so you don't burn the top though!
Take it out after 45 minutes, lift out a piece to check the bottom and either frost and eat or cook for a few more minutes.
Bake this cinnamon roll casserole for at least 45 minutes. You may even need to cook it up to 55 minutes. Check the casserole at the 35 minute mark and if it is getting too dark on the top, simply cover it with foil and then continue bake.
Besides the delicious breakfast this makes, your house will smell amazing!
