Description
Soft and fluffy Hawaiian rolls transformed into rich, slightly sweet French toast with a golden buttery crust—an ideal treat for a cozy weekend breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
French Toast Mixture
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Main Ingredient
- 6 Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half or kept whole
For Cooking
- Butter, for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until smooth and well combined, creating a flavorful custard base for the French toast.
- Prep the Hawaiian rolls: Slice each Hawaiian roll in half horizontally, or keep them whole according to your preference, ensuring they’re ready to soak in the custard mixture.
- Dip the rolls: Carefully dip each piece of roll into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly but avoid soaking too long to prevent sogginess.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter, making sure it evenly coats the pan surface for cooking.
- Cook the French toast: Place the coated rolls onto the hot skillet and cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove from the skillet and serve immediately with your choice of syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Do not soak the Hawaiian rolls too long in the egg mixture to avoid soggy French toast.
- Best enjoyed fresh and warm for optimal texture and flavor.
