Ingredients
  

8 Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)

Butter or oil for frying

Maple syrup, for serving

Fresh fruit (such as berries or bananas), for garnish

Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined.

    Soak the Rolls: Dip each half of the Hawaiian rolls into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for a few seconds on each side, ensuring they are well coated but not so soggy that they fall apart.

      Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or griddle, melt a tablespoon of butter or heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat until hot.

        Fry the Bread: Place the soaked Hawaiian rolls cut-side down in the skillet. Cook until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Flip carefully using a spatula.

          Serve Immediately: Once cooked, transfer to a plate. Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup, and topped with fresh fruit and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
