Cook time: 35 minutes

Servings: 1

Ingredients

• 1 lb Bacon
• 12 Rolls Hawaiian Rolls
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 0.5 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 Eggs
• 0.3 Cup Half & Half Cream
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
• 1 tbsp Powdered Sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and lay bacon strips in a single layer on the sheet.
2. Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, about 15 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
3. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Slice rolls in half lengthwise. Spread 2 tablespoons butter over the cut side of the bottom half of the rolls. Top evenly with brown sugar and cayenne pepper. Arrange bacon slices over the brown sugar mixture.
4. Spread 1 tablespoon butter evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Place the prepared sandwich half in the buttered pan.
5. Whisk eggs, half-and-half, vanilla, salt, and syrup together in a separate 9x13-inch baking dish. Add the top half of the rolls to the egg mixture and turn a couple of times to coat and lightly soak the bread. Allow the excess egg mixture to drip off and place the top half of the rolls over the bacon layer. Cover with foil. Discard any excess egg mixture.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden brown and lightly toasted, 5 to 10 minutes more.
7. Spread the remaining butter over the tops. Cut into 12 servings. Dust with confectioner's sugar. Serve with syrup for dipping.
