Instructions

  • Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. Spread the bread cubes in the dish in an even layer.
  • In a 4 cup measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk (or use an immersion blender) and mix together the eggs, milk, sour cream, vanilla, and ¼ cup (use ½ cup if you used brioche or challah) sugar until combined.
  • Pour the liquid evenly over the bread pieces. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or at least 6-8 hours.
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk in ½ cup sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, until combined. Drizzle this prepared mixture over the casserole.
  • Bake the casserole uncovered for 28-35 minutes or until the casserole is browning and set in the center (test with a toothpick.)
  • Allow the casserole to cool for 10-15 minutes before icing.
  • While the casserole is baking, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together using a hand mixer, until smooth. Pour in the vanilla, lemon juice, and powdered sugar, and mix until smooth.
  • Once the icing is combined, add a teaspoon of milk at a time, mixing thoroughly before adding the next teaspoon. Drizzle the prepared icing over the warm cinnamon roll casserole.

Notes

Serve warm with a drizzle of cream cheese icing.
