# Instructions:
01 -
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.
02 -
Use a toothpick or skewer to poke several holes in the bottom of each roll so the custard can soak in.
03 -
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.
