Cinnamon Bun Bread Pudding

Sent by Jill From Frog Hollow

This recipe calls for 12 fully baked cinnamon buns. Get them at the bakery (Costco has them) or in the grocer's baking section (Pillsbury Grands Flaky Supreme Cinnabon works well - they come in a 5 pack. They were so big, that I only used 8). If you get the raw buns, bake and glaze them according to package directions, let them cool, then use them as directed for this recipe.

6 eggs
1 1/2 C fat free half and half OR skim milk
2 tsp cinnamon, divided
Pinch salt
12 large glazed cinnamon buns (I only used 8)
1 C powdered sugar (3/4 C would probably be fine too)
1 1/2 TBSP water
1 tsp vanilla extract

Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Combine eggs, half and half, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and the salt. Wisk until smooth. Set aside. Cut each cinnamon bun into 1 to 2 inch chunks. Arrange the chunks in an even layer in the prepared baking pan. Pour the egg mixture over the pieces of cinnamon buns. As you pour, use a fork to gently press on the bun pieces to help them absorb the liquid. Bake for 25-30 min, or until lightly puffed and starting to brown. Let cool for 15-20 min.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, water and vanilla and the remaining 1 tsp of cinnamon.
To serve, drizzle the bread pudding with the glaze, then cut it into squares.
