I'm giving a 5 even though I changed one thing. I left out the syrup. Otherwise, made as written and it was absolutely delish! I halved the recipe and used an 8X8 pan. Easy and would make a great brunch item.

I made this casserole this morning. It was really very good. I didn't drizzle syrup over the top because I forgot, but it probably would have made it a bit better. I halved the recipe since there are only two of us. I used an 8x8 pan for the half sized recipe. When I served it, I topped it with some of the heavy cream that I had left over.

Thank you! There is just the two of us, and I wanted to try this out before fixing for company. Well heck, we will be doing this one many times, no need to wait for company! I used the little Grands Cinnamon 5 roll, 17.5 Oz roll and it was perfect for two!

Love it! Made it first time exactly as instructed. Made it second time and I added 1 pound of cooked breakfast sausage ( I used a roll of Jimmy Dean) to the egg mixture since I really love the sweet/savory combination. Will be making this often, I love breakfast at supper time and this will be perfect. Might add bacon or ham to mix it up for a change each time.

Very good.. I skipped the pecans because i didn't have any but it was great without them.
