Ingredients

> 6 Martin's® Dinner Potato Rolls
> 2 eggs
> 1/4 cup whole milk
> 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
> 1 tsp cinnamon

Cheesecake Filling

> 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
> 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
> 1/2 tsp lemon juice
> 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Nest Décor

> 1/2 cup coconut flakes
> 2 drops green food coloring
> 18 robin egg candies
> 6 chick-shaped marshmallows

Steps

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and baking spray.
2
Using a sharp knife, cut a circular hole in the tops of all six Martin’s® Dinner Rolls. Then use spoon to hollow out Dinner Rolls. If using fresh Martin’s® Dinner Rolls, bake for 3-5 minutes until slightly crisp (this allows Dinner Rolls to hold their bowl shape).
3
In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
4
Quickly dip each Martin’s® Dinner Roll into egg mixture on all six sides and place on prepared baking sheet. Using a small basting brush, brush inside of each “bowl”.
5
Cover tray of “nests” with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional five minutes or until slightly crispy.
6
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk together until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add lemon juice and vanilla extract and stir until well combined. Refrigerate until French toast is finished baking.
7
Then, in a small bowl, mix coconut flakes with two drops of food coloring and stir.
8
Once Dinner Rolls have baked, fill each with three tablespoons cream cheese mixture. Then, top with coconut flakes, robin egg candy, and a marshmallow.
