  • 14 cups cubed Kings Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls (1/2-inch cubes (about 20 rolls))
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk or half and half
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus 2 Tbsp divided)
  • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon (plus 1 tsp, divided)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Glaze:
  • 4 oz spreadable cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp half and half or heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Several hours prior to preparing or overnight, spread cubed bread on a sheet pan and let stand uncovered on the counter to dry out.
  • To prepare: In a large mixing bowl, Whisk together the eggs, half and half, sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg.
  • Add cubed bread gently stirring to evenly coat. Allow to sit for 10-15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
  • To assemble: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray 12 cups of a standard muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Divide the soaked bread evenly between the muffin cups using an ice cream scoop or a large spoon.
  • Mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle on the top of each muffin.
  • To bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden and crisp on top. Rest in the pan for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the muffins and gently remove to a cooling rack to cool completely while you prepare the glaze.
  • To make the glaze: In a medium size mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to whip together all of the ingredients for the glaze until smooth. Drizzle muffins with glaze.
  • Serve immediately.
