I still remember the first time I set out to impress my family with a breakfast that would make everyone jump out of bed—of course, I was armed with a box of sweet Hawaiian rolls! It was a chilly Sunday morning, and as I prepared breakfast, I craved something warm, comforting, and downright delicious. That’s when the idea for my Hawaiian Roll French Toast Casserole was born.

With tender Hawaiian rolls soaking up a creamy, custardy mixture, and bursting with fresh blueberries, this dish doesn’t just fill bellies; it brings smiles to faces. Not only is this casserole easy to whip up, but it also leaves you with plenty of time to relax before serving. Whether it’s a cozy family brunch or a festive gathering, this show-stopping dish transforms morning moments into cherished memories. Plus, feel free to swap in raspberries for a delightful twist! Join me, and let’s make breakfast a little sweeter together.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pack Hawaiian rolls
  • 2 cups blueberries
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar (for serving, optional)
  • Maple syrup (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish, ideally 11x7 or 12x8 inches, ensuring you have room for all the deliciousness to come!
  2. Cube Hawaiian rolls into 1-inch pieces.
  3. Layer half of the cubed rolls in the dish, then sprinkle half of the blueberries on top. Repeat with the remaining rolls and blueberries.
  4. Whisk together eggs, half and half, sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl.
  5. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the layered bread and blueberries.
  6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  7. Uncover and continue baking for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

  • Perfect Bake Time: Always bake the casserole covered with foil for the first 40 minutes.
  • Custard Soak: Allow the bread to soak in the custard mixture for at least 15 minutes before baking.
  • Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the custard for added flavor.
  • Fruit Substitution: Try raspberries or a mix of different berries.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate.
  • Check for Doneness: The casserole should be golden brown on top and slightly jiggly in the center.
