Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 eggs and 1 cup of half-and-half until smooth and well combined. Add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar along with a pinch of salt. Whisk until airy and blended.
  2. Gently poke small holes in the bottom of each of the 6 King’s Hawaiian Rolls using a toothpick. Dip each roll into the custard for about 30 seconds, ensuring all surfaces are coated.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until melted. Place the soaked Hawaiian Rolls in the skillet, cooking them for 30 to 60 seconds on each side until golden brown.
  4. Transfer the cooked Hawaiian Roll French Toast to a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar and top with fresh fruit and maple syrup.
