Infused with a cinnamon-sugar custard and pan-fried to golden perfection, these bite-sized delights are perfect for lazy weekends, holiday brunches, or any time you crave a special morning indulgence.

 Ingredients

• 1 (12-pack) King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

• 3 large eggs

• ¾ cup half-and-half or whole milk

• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

• Pinch of salt

• 4 tablespoons butter (for cooking)

• Powdered sugar, fresh fruit, and maple syrup for serving

 Directions

1. Prepare the Custard Mixture:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and half-and-half until fully combined. Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.

2. Prepare the Rolls:
   Using a toothpick or skewer, poke several holes in the bottom of each Hawaiian roll. This step allows the custard mixture to soak in more effectively.

3. Soak the Rolls:
   Working in batches, dip each roll into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for about 30 seconds per side. Be cautious not to soak them too long to prevent sogginess.

4. Cook the French Toast:
   Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the soaked rolls in the skillet and cook for 30–60 seconds per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Ensure all sides are evenly cooked.

5. Serve:
   Once cooked, remove the rolls from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Dust with powdered sugar, and serve with fresh fruit and maple syrup for dipping.
