Cinnamon Roll French Toast

Instructions

1. Prepare the bread
   Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice of brioche bread to about 1/4-inch thickness. This will make the bread easier to roll later.
2. Create cinnamon sugar mixture
   In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. Set aside.
3. Make the egg mixture
   In a large shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fully incorporated. This will be your French toast batter.
4. Roll the bread
   Sprinkle each flattened bread slice generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture, leaving a small border around the edges. Gently roll each slice into a tight cylinder, pressing lightly to seal the edge. If needed, secure with a toothpick.
5. Soak and cook
   Dip each cinnamon roll in the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the rolls in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Add more butter as needed between batches.
6. Prepare the topping
   In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese frosting and 1/4 cup maple syrup. Heat for 20-30 seconds until warm and easy to pour. Stir to combine into a smooth glaze.
7. Serve
   Place 2 cinnamon roll French toast pieces on each plate. Drizzle generously with the cream cheese glaze, and serve with additional maple syrup on the side. Garnish with a dusting of cinnamon sugar if desired.
