This Hawaiian Roll French Toast recipe transforms sweet, fluffy Hawaiian rolls into a rich and indulgent breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale

French Toast Mixture

  • 6 Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half horizontally
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Dip the Rolls: Take each sliced Hawaiian roll half and dip it fully into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not saturated to the point of falling apart.
  3. Heat the Pan: Place a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
  4. Cook the French Toast: Arrange the dipped roll halves in the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the exterior is golden brown and slightly crispy.
  5. Repeat and Serve: Add more butter as needed for subsequent batches. Serve the French toast warm with syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg into the egg mixture.
  • Use day-old Hawaiian rolls for better absorption without becoming soggy.
  • Serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries for extra indulgence.
  • Can be easily doubled or tripled for larger groups.
