How to Make Cinnamon French Toast Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter and pour it into an ungreased 13x9-inch glass baking dish.
  2. Separate two cans (16 oz each) of refrigerated breadstick dough into 32 rolls total.
  3. Set icing aside for later.
  4. Cut each roll into 8 pieces (you should have approximately 256 pieces).
  5. Arrange the roll pieces evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs.
  7. Whisk in 1 cup heavy cream, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  8. Gently pour the egg mixture over the roll pieces, ensuring they are evenly moistened.
  9. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans over the top.
  10. Drizzle 1 cup maple syrup evenly over the casserole.
  11. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-28 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Let the casserole cool for 15 minutes before icing.
  13. Meanwhile, remove the lids from the can of icing and microwave on medium power for 10-15 seconds, or until it reaches a drizzling consistency.
  14. Drizzle the icing evenly over the cooled casserole.
  15. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
  16. If desired, spoon additional syrup from the baking dish over individual servings.
  17. Serve warm with an additional 1/2 cup of maple syrup, if desired.
