Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter a 9x13-inch baking dish with the melted butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  3. Slice the rolls in half horizontally. Arrange the bottom halves cut side up in the dish, pour half the custard over them, then place the top halves on cut side down and pour the remaining custard on top. Press down gently and let sit for 10 minutes.
  4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until puffed, golden, and set in the center.
  5. Let the casserole sit for 2 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve warm with maple syrup.

Notes

Let the assembled casserole sit for 10 minutes before baking so the rolls soak up more custard. If you make it ahead and refrigerate overnight, bake straight from the fridge and add 5 to 10 minutes to the bake time.
