Cinnamon French Toast Bake

I mentioned this in the yummy breakfast from our tailgate in yesterday's post. Here is the recipe, initially found on pinterest of course!

What You Need:
1/4 cup melted butter
2 cans (12.4 oz each) Pillsbury® refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
5 eggs
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup maple syrup

What You Do:
Melt butter and pour on ungreased 13×9 inch glass dish.
Separate cans of dough into 16 rolls reserving the icing for later use.  Cut each roll into 8 pieces and add to buttered baking dish.

Beat eggs in medium bowl. Add cream, cinnamon and vanilla and beat until well blended.

 Pour over cut pieces of cinnamon roll pieces.
Sprinkle with pecans (I only covered half of the rolls with pecans) and drizzle 3/4 cup syrup over the top. Bake at 375 for 20 to 28 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove the covers from icing and microwave on medium  or 50% power for 10 to 15 seconds. Drizzle icing over the top.
