Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. Whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until creamy.
  4. Soak the chopped cinnamon roll pieces in the egg mixture for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally.
