Method

  1. 1

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp granulated sugar until smooth.

  3. 3

    Slice each sweet roll horizontally in half to create a pocket for the filling.

  4. 4

    Fill each roll pocket with a generous spoonful of the egg mixture, then fold the halves together to seal.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: sealed filled rolls. Spoon the mixture into the roll pocket and close it before dipping.

  5. 5

    Dip each stuffed roll into the remaining egg mixture, allowing it to soak through the crust.

  6. 6

    Place the stuffed rolls onto the preheated skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: golden cooked bites. Cook each side until browned and set through the center.

  7. 7

    After cooking, sprinkle the tops with brown sugar.

  8. 8

    Using a kitchen torch or the broiler, caramelize the brown sugar until a crisp, golden crust forms.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: crisp caramelized sugar. Torch or broil until the sugar forms a golden crust.

  9. 9

    Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with maple syrup.

Tips while you cook

Preheat the skillet early
Start heating the skillet over medium heat before whisking the custard.
Soak rolls briefly in the custard
After filling the roll pockets, dip each stuffed roll into the remaining egg mixture to let the batter coat the crust.
Watch the cooking time per side
Cook the rolls for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown before adding the sugar topping.
Caramelize the brown sugar immediately after cooking
Sprinkle brown sugar on the hot rolls, then use a torch or broiler right away.
