Ingredients

The French Toast Base:
1" Large gourmet cinnamon rolls (sliced in half)
1-1/2 cups Milk
3 Large eggs (whisked)
1 tsp Ground cinnamon
Salted butter (for the skillet)
Cinnamon sugar (Ratio 4:1 to 4 Tbsp sugar to 1 Tbsp cinnamon)
The Cream Cheese Spread:
4 oz. Cream cheese (room temperature)
3 Tbsp Salted butter (room temperature)
1 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

Prepare the Egg Wash: Whisk the milk, eggs, and cinnamon together. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, like a pie plate, for easy dipping.
Prep the Rolls: Slice your gourmet cinnamon rolls in half. Scrape off most of the icing from the tops before dipping (save it or discard so it doesn't burn).
The Dip: Submerge a roll slice into the egg mixture, flip, and repeat so both sides are coated twice. If you like it extra sweet, sprinkle the sides with cinnamon sugar now.
The Sizzle: Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter for each slice.
Cook: Place the rolls in the skillet. Cook until the egg is set and the roll is a beautiful light brown, then flip and cook the other side.
Make the Spread: While the toast cooks, mix the room-temperature cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Serve: Remove from the skillet and drizzle or spread generously with the cream cheese topping.

Notes

Tammy’s Pro-Tips

Watch the Heat: Because of the icing and the cinnamon sugar, these can brown very quickly. Keep an eye on your skillet and turn the heat down if they are darkening too fast.
The Best Bread: Using thick, gourmet cinnamon rolls is what makes this "Master Cookbook" quality. They hold up much better to the egg wash than regular bread!
Room Temp is Real: For the creamiest spread, make sure your cream cheese and butter are truly at room temperature before mixing,it makes a world of difference for that smooth texture.
