Cream Cheese Icing – We usually use the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls, but feel free to make your own.

Pouring the egg mixture over the cinnamon roll pieces

Step 5 – Finally, pour all of this egg mixture over the cinnamon rolls in the pan.

Step 6 – Put the casserole in the oven and bake uncovered until it is golden brown. This normally takes about 30 minutes. Just make sure it is cooked through the middle.
