Method

Directions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the large eggs and half and half until frothy.
Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Poke small holes in the bottom of each King's Hawaiian Roll to help absorb the custard.
Dip each roll into the custard mixture for about 30 seconds, ensuring even coating.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter, and cook soaked rolls for 30-60 seconds per side.
Serve warm topped with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, and maple syrup.
