Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Gather the ingredients: Hawaiian sweet rolls, eggs, whole milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon, Kerrygold butter, blueberries, strawberries, and powdered sugar.

Measure out 2 cups of whole milk and set aside.

Crack 6 eggs into a large mixing bowl.

Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, a pinch of allspice, and cinnamon to the eggs and mix to combine.

Whisk in the 2 cups of whole milk until well combined.

Cut the Hawaiian sweet rolls into half-inch cubes using a serrated knife.

Add the bread cubes to the egg mixture and let soak for a few minutes, ensuring they absorb the custard.

In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt 1 stick of Kerrygold butter and add brown sugar to dissolve into the butter, creating a caramel.

Pour the caramel mixture into the bottom of an 8 by 11 casserole dish and smooth it out.

Add the soaked bread mixture on top of the caramel and spread it evenly.

Sprinkle a little more cinnamon on top before placing it in the oven.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the top is brown and crusty.

Once baked, let it cool slightly and top with powdered sugar.

Slice strawberries and prepare blueberries for garnish.

Plate the casserole and add the fruit on top, finishing with more powdered sugar for presentation.
