Ingredients
– 1 package (12 rolls) Hawaiian rolls
– 1 cup blueberries (or any berries like raspberries, blackberries, or mixed berries)
– 8 large eggs
– 1 1/3 cups half and half (or substitute with 1 cup whole milk plus 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream)
– 1/2 cup white sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Powdered sugar for dusting
– Maple syrup for serving (optional)
Instructions
1- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 11×7 or 12×8 inch baking dish.
2- Cut the Hawaiian rolls into approximately 1-inch cubes using a serrated knife.
3- Layer half of the bread cubes at the bottom of the baking dish, then add half of the blueberries over the bread.
4- Add the remaining bread cubes on top followed by the remaining blueberries.
5- In a bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1 1/3 cups half and half, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined.
6- Pour the custard mixture slowly over the layered bread and berries, gently pressing pieces to soak the liquid without squishing.
7- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
8- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is slightly jiggly.
9- Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm, optionally with maple syrup, bacon, breakfast sausage, or fresh fruit.
