Chef's Tips

For best results, use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking.

Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Keep a close eye on the bites while cooking to prevent burning.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Oversoaking the cinnamon roll bites in the custard can lead to soggy French toast. Dip them quickly!

Using too high of heat can burn the outside before the inside is cooked through. Use medium heat.

Variations

Berry Cinnamon Roll French Toast: Top the cooked bites with fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries.

Nutty Cinnamon Roll French Toast: Sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts over the bites before serving.
