Instructions
- Prepare the Rolls:
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally (you can cut them into smaller pieces if you prefer).
- Make the Custard:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Soak the Rolls:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter to coat the surface.
- Dip each slice of Hawaiian roll into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on both sides.
- Cook the French Toast:
- Place the soaked rolls onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside. Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, and fresh fruit if desired.
