Description

This delightful Hawaiian Roll French Toast recipe transforms soft and sweet Hawaiian rolls into a decadent breakfast treat. The combination of vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg infused into each fluffy roll makes for a truly indulgent morning meal.


Ingredients

Scale

For the French Toast:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole milk recommended)
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 12 Hawaiian Rolls, sliced horizontally (such as King’s Hawaiian sweet rolls)

For Serving:

  • Confectioners’ sugar (optional)
  • Maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a wide, deep bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
  2. Heat Griddle or Skillet: Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and brush with 1 Tbsp of butter.
  3. Dip and Toast the Rolls: Dip Hawaiian roll halves into the egg mixture, ensuring they are saturated but not dripping, then place on the heated griddle. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
  4. Keep Warm and Serve: Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate, keeping it warm while you continue cooking the remaining rolls. Serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of orange zest to the egg mixture.
  • Feel free to customize your toppings with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dollop of yogurt.
