Ingredients

Scale

Orange Rolls

  • 2 tubes refrigerated orange rolls

Custard Mixture

  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Topping

  • Icing (from the orange rolls package or prepared separately)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the rolls: Cut each refrigerated orange roll into 6 pieces and spread them evenly throughout the prepared baking dish, forming a single layer.
  3. Mix custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, melted butter, and maple syrup until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Combine: Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cut orange roll pieces in the baking dish, ensuring all pieces are soaked.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and set in the center.
  6. Add icing: Once removed from the oven, immediately spread the icing over the warm casserole so it melts slightly and adds a sweet finishing touch.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Let cool slightly if desired, then serve warm and enjoy this comforting, sweet breakfast casserole.

Notes

  • Use the icing packet included with the orange rolls for the authentic flavor.
  • For a different flavor profile, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the custard mixture.
  • You can prepare this casserole the night before by assembling it and refrigerating overnight, then bake in the morning (add a few extra minutes to the baking time if chilled).
  • Ensure the casserole is baked through by checking that the center is set and not jiggly.
  • This dish pairs well with fresh fruit or a simple cup of coffee or tea.
