Can you use frozen cinnamon roll dough?

Yes you can, but you would want to make it the night before. If you use frozen dough allow it to thaw enough to dice it up, and then continue with your preparations.

Cover and sit in the refrigerator overnight and bake in the morning!

Can I substitute the heavy cream?

Yes, you can substitute out the heavy cream with almost any other dairy or non-dairy alternative. I use heavy cream because it gives the casserole a nice richness, plus adds to the fluffiness when the eggs cook.

You can use any other option too like half and half or milk. You can use non-dairy options like almond or soy milk as well, but beware they will change the taste a little.

How to make this the night before:

This is the easiest recipe to make the night before. We love serving it on Christmas morning for that reason!

You just need to follow the directions and before baking cover your dish with foil and place in the fridge.

Bake according to directions the next morning.

    1. Yea, I was wondering about that too, but the Nutrional ingredients keep saying that even after recalculating a couple times.

  1. Iโ€™m taking a meal to a friend who recently had surgery. I want to also provide a yummy breakfast! This looks delish!
    Question: Since it is just her and her husband and me and my husband, I was going to divide this in half in two 8×8 pans. Would the bake time be the same or a little shorter?
    Thanks! I canโ€™t wait to try this!

    1. I would keep the bake time as the same. Possibly a minute or two shorted, but since it is using the pre-package cinnamon rolls, you do want to make sure they cook all the way through.

      1. Delicious! Everyone loved it! Was a perfect addition to our Christmas breakfast Thinking of adding cooked bacon bits on the top next time. Thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas to you and yours๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ
