Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 16-ounce package bakery cinnamon rolls
  • ½ cup golden raisins
  • 2 tablespoons butter cut into ¼-inch cubes

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, whole eggs, milk, sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.
  • Cut the cinnamon rolls into bite sized pieces, keeping them roughly even so they bake evenly.
  • Lightly grease a 10x10 inch baking dish. Spread the cinnamon roll pieces in an even layer and sprinkle the golden raisins over the top. Pour the custard evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces and press down gently to help them absorb the liquid. Scatter the butter cubes across the top.
  • Cover the baking dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the custard to soak in.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (163°C). Let the casserole sit at room temperature while the oven heats, then bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes until the center is set and the top is golden.
  • Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

  • Add a light glaze of powdered sugar and milk after baking for extra sweetness.
  • Whole milk gives the richest result, but 2 percent milk works well too.
