So I know you said you can prep the night before. Does that mean putting the egg mixture on the cut up cinnamon rolls before refrigerating or just cutting the rolls?

  Hi Jill! Yes, I baked it uncovered. Every oven is different so if you notice that your bread chunks are browning too fast, you can cover the dish with aluminum foil. I hope this helps!

Are you using the Grands size cinnamon rolls or the regular size? I am considering topping this dish with pre-cooked turkey sausage crumbles - what do you think?

  Hi Judy! For the 13x9 pan you need 1.5 of the amounts. So: 3 tubes of cinnamon rolls, 3 eggs, 3/4 cup of milk, 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. I hope this helps! Let me know!

  So this might be a silly question but does this need syrup or is the icing enough of a sweetener?

    I seriously have thought the same thing.... But ive tweeked the recipe a little i put a little syrup in with my egg and vanilla mixture, just to get the maple under tones, then top with the icing, ieven sneak a little xtra syrup drizzle on top before i bake wuth this sinfully sweet breakfast you can go wrong, just think cinnamon rolls and french toast there the two basic breakfast staples .... If all else fails wing it the only issue ive ever came across is undercooking it and biting into a mouthfull and it still is doughy! Kinda ruins it for me at least. So just watch closely, and use foil if necessary, good luck
