Ingredients

1 package King’s Hawaiian rolls

4 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Butter for cooking

Maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. Slice the slab of King’s Hawaiian rolls horizontally and separate into tops and bottoms.

  3. Soak each roll half in the custard for 15–20 seconds per side.

  5. Cook rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Don’t over-soak to prevent sogginess.
  • Make an overnight casserole by soaking rolls in a baking dish and baking at 350°F for 35 minutes.
  • Add toppings like fresh fruit, toasted nuts, or caramel for variation.
  • Reheat in skillet, toaster oven, or air fryer for best texture.
  • Use dairy-free milk and butter alternatives for dietary needs.
