Instructions
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together your eggs, half and half, vanilla extract, cinnamon, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt until everything is smooth and mixed well.
Slice your Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, but try keeping them attached as a sheet if you can. It makes soaking and handling easier.
Dip each roll sheet or individual rolls into the egg mixture. Make sure both sides get coated but don’t let them soak too soggy or they'll fall apart on ya.
Heat up a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter until it’s all nice and melty.
Put the soaked rolls on your pan and cook each side about 3 to 4 minutes, till they get that perfect golden brown color. Add more butter between batches to keep things tasty.
Once they're all cooked, serve them warm topped with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, and syrup.
Optional: sprinkle with coconut or chocolate chips before cooking for variation.
Notes
Serve with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or maple syrup. Leftovers keep well in fridge for 2 days or freeze for later.
