Ingredients
  

For the Custard

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined and slightly frothy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Carefully cut each Hawaiian roll in half, creating a top and bottom for soaking. Dip each half into the custard mixture for 10-15 seconds per side.
  3. Place a skillet over medium heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, letting it melt completely.
  4. Arrange the soaked rolls cut-side down in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  5. Transfer cooked rolls to a serving plate and top with maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Notes

Avoid soggy rolls by soaking them just long enough. Preheat the skillet for the perfect crust. Experiment with toppings for a personalized touch.
