I suggest using a glass dish as I think it bakes more evenly. A metal dish can sometimes overcook the outer edges before the middle is done.
Try adding some chocolate chips, chopped nuts texture or some fresh fruit!
To quickly cut the cinnamon rolls, use a pair of kitchen scissors or a pizza cutter.
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap and kept at room temperature for up to 3 days. The casserole may dry out fast, so eat it as soon as possible, best on the day that you make it.
You can reheat leftovers in the oven at 350F for about 10 minutes until warmed through again. Or pop a slice in the microwave for a few seconds.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

HOW TO MAKE A CINNAMON BUN CASSEROLE
Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Spray a 9×13-inch baking spray with nonstick cooking spray. Open cans of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters. Layer the cinnamon rolls evenly into the baking dish.
Whisk together eggs, heavy whipping cream, ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg together in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Pour it evenly over the cinnamon rolls in the baking dish.
Melt butter and pour it evenly over the mixture in the baking dish.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes so the tops of the buns start to crisp up and turn golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes then drizzle reserved icing over the casserole. Slice up and serve!
