Ingredients

1 package King's Hawaiian Honey Wheat 12-Pack Dinner Rolls
2 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup half-and-half
1 tablespoon brown sugar

For the Sauce

1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon bourbon (or maple syrup)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (163 degrees Celsius).
Tear the rolls into small pieces and place them in a large bowl. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat with a whisk until the yolks and whites are combined. Whisk in the milk and half-and-half, then pour over the roll pieces. Toss the roll pieces well to ensure they are evenly coated. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Spoon the mixture into greased muffin pan cups and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crisped.
Meanwhile, make the sauce: melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, heavy cream, bourbon (or maple syrup), vanilla, and salt. Let it come to a boil over medium heat. Allow the mixture to cook, stirring very frequently, until thick (3-5 minutes). Cool slightly.
Serve the French Toast Cups drizzled with Sticky Brown Sugar Sauce.

Notes

To store French Toast Cups, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months; wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag.

To reheat, thaw frozen muffins in the refrigerator overnight. Warm them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 10 minutes or microwave for 20-30 seconds until heated through.
