🍊 Overnight Orange Roll Casserole

Overnight Orange Roll Casserole is a warm, sweet breakfast bake made with soft orange rolls, creamy custard, and a rich glaze that melts into every bite. Preparing it the night before allows the rolls to soak up the custard mixture, creating a soft, fluffy texture that bakes into a perfectly comforting breakfast dish.

This casserole is ideal for holidays, weekend brunch, or any morning when you want a delicious homemade breakfast ready with minimal effort.

🛒 Ingredients

• 2 cans refrigerated orange sweet rolls (with icing)
• 4 large eggs
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Baking Dish
   Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
   Cut the orange rolls into quarters and spread them evenly in the dish.
   Reserve the icing packets for later.
2. Make the Custard
   In a large bowl whisk together:
   • eggs
   • milk
   • heavy cream
   • sugar
   • vanilla extract
   • cinnamon
   • salt

   Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

3. Assemble the Casserole
   Pour the custard mixture evenly over the cut orange rolls, making sure all pieces are coated.
   Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top if using.
4. Refrigerate Overnight
   Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
   This allows the rolls to absorb the custard and develop a soft, pudding-like texture.
5. Bake
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
   Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

   Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set.

6. Add the Glaze
   Warm the reserved icing packets slightly and drizzle them over the casserole while it is still warm.
7. Serve
   Allow the casserole to rest for about 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
