Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls (cut in half)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of milk (whole or 2%)
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
- Fresh berries (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Make sure everything is fully combined to create a smooth custard base for your French toast.
- Soak the rolls: Take the halved Hawaiian rolls and dip them into the egg mixture. Allow them to soak for about 20-30 seconds on each side, ensuring they absorb the custard mixture without becoming too soggy.
- Cook the French toast: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter to coat the surface. Place the soaked rolls on the skillet and cook each side for 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Serve immediately: Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and top with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh berries. Serve hot for the best experience!
Notes
- Don’t oversoak the rolls! Hawaiian rolls are soft and fluffy, so a quick soak in the egg mixture is all they need.
- Use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned skillet to avoid sticking.
- If you want to keep the French toast warm while cooking multiple batches, place them on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
