Ingredients
Butter or cooking spray, for the pan
10 Hawaiian sweet rolls
3 large eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup strawberry jam
2/3 cup diced strawberries, plus more for topping
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Confectioners' sugar and maple syrup, for topping
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Grease an 8-inch round baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside. Cut 1-inch-wide and 1-inch-deep holes in each roll. Whisk together the eggs, milk, brown sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl. Dip each roll in the egg mixture and place in the baking dish.
- Beat the cream cheese with the lemon zest, honey and jam in a bowl with a mixer. Fold in the strawberries. Place the mixture in a piping bag and fill each hole in the rolls with the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the top of the rolls.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are crisp and golden brown. Serve with more strawberries, confectioners' sugar and syrup for topping.
