Overnight Cinnamon Roll Casserole
It’s no wonder make-ahead casseroles are so popular. I love them too, as assembling dishes in advance gives me the opportunity to plan and prep ahead of time. These re likely the same reasons you love them, right? Then, there’s my love of pretty much anything enhanced with fragrant cinnamon. To me, the smell of a dish baking that includes cinnamon is darn near intoxicating. It just makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Overnight Cinnamon Rolls
These overnight cinnamon rolls become pretty and puffed while baking due to the rich egg custard. After resting for a few minutes, they do settle a bit. This is completely normal so, don’t panic when you see it happen. The custard is so rich and just like my Pull Apart Cinnamon Breadsticks, Cinnamon Roll Bread and Cinnamon Roll French Bread this recipe is a regular rotation on our weekend brunch menu.
