Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp melted butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- Soak the Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half (if desired) and dip them into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well coated but not overly soaked.
- Cook: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the melted butter. Cook the soaked rolls for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
- Serve: Transfer to a plate and serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a splash of coconut milk or a sprinkle of nutmeg.
- If making for a crowd, keep cooked French toast warm in a 200°F oven until ready to serve.
- Hawaiian rolls can be kept whole, halved, or even torn into pieces for a more rustic approach.
