Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and half and half until fully combined.
Whisk in the vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt until incorporated.
Use a toothpick or skewer to poke several holes in the bottom of each roll so the custard can soak in.
Working in batches, dip the rolls into the custard mixture and let soak for 30 seconds, turning to coat all sides. Don’t soak longer or they’ll get soggy.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Cook the soaked rolls for 30-60 seconds per side until golden brown, turning carefully with a spatula to get all sides crispy.

Serve the Hawaiian Roll French Toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with fresh berries and maple syrup if desired.
Notes
Do not over-soak the rolls. A quick dip is enough to absorb flavor without turning them mushy. Use medium-low heat to avoid burning the sugary exterior.
