Time 9h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing
3/4 cup maple syrup, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
One 12-ounce package Hawaiian slider rolls
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 pint fresh blueberries
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs
Kosher salt
4 pieces cooked bacon, finely chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with butter.
  • Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whip on medium speed for 1 minute. With the mixer running, slowly pour in the maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla bean paste and whip until completely combined. Transfer to a serving bowl and reserve.
  • Keep the rolls intact and slice across the equator to create 1 large top and 1 large bottom roll. Place the bottom roll in the baking dish, then spread with 2 tablespoons of the maple butter. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and half of the blueberries and top with the top roll.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, sugar, eggs, remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste and a pinch of salt. Pour the mixture over the rolls. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the foil, then continue to bake until golden brown, about 10 more minutes.
  • Arrange scoops of the maple butter on top and sprinkle with the bacon and remaining blueberries. Serve with additional maple syrup.
