Equipment

  • 1 Skillet (Non-stick preferred)
  • 1 Whisk (For custard)
  • 1 Serrated knife (For clean cuts)

Ingredients

  • 12 Hawaiian Sweet Rolls - Kept connected or separated
  • 4 large Eggs - Room temperature
  • 1 cup Whole Milk - Full fat for richness
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese - Softened
  • 2 tablespoon Maple Syrup - For the filling
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract - Pure extract preferred
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon - Freshly ground
  • 3 tablespoon Unsalted Butter - For frying

Instructions 

  • Slice the entire block of rolls in half horizontally to separate the tops from the bottoms.
  • Mix the softened cream cheese and syrup in a bowl until the texture is light and fluffy.
  • Spread the cream cheese over the bottom bread layer and press the top half back on firmly.
  • Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, and spices in a flat dish until the custard is smooth.
  • Dip the roll sandwiches into the liquid for ten seconds so the bread absorbs the moisture.
  • Melt butter in a skillet and cook each side for three minutes until the surface is caramelized.
  • Transfer to a plate and garnish with berries and sugar for a beautiful final presentation.

Notes

Keep the heat at medium-low to prevent the sweet bread from scorching before the egg custard sets. Use slightly stale rolls for the best texture.
