Hawaiian Roll French Toast Recipe

Ingredients

  • 6 Hawaiian rolls (or more depending on servings)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream (optional for extra richness)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp butter (for greasing the pan)
  • Powdered sugar, for serving
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Fresh fruit (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rolls:
    • Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally (you can cut them into smaller pieces if you prefer).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
