- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
For Serving

Instructions
- Prepare Cinnamon Roll Pieces: Open the can of cinnamon rolls and cut each roll into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
- Make Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Dip the Bites: Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully coated for even cooking and flavor.
- Heat Skillet: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter to coat the pan surface.

- Keep Warm: Remove cooked bites from the skillet and keep warm while cooking remaining batches to serve all warm.

Notes
- For an extra crispy texture, finish the bites in a 375°F oven for 5 minutes after pan-frying.
- These bites make a great brunch addition or a fun weekend breakfast treat that kids especially love.
- Use a non-stick skillet for easier cooking and cleanup.
