Hawaiian Roll French Toast Recipe
Ingredients:
12 Hawaiian rolls (such as King’s Hawaiian)
4 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (or half-and-half for a creamier texture)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons butter (for frying)
Maple syrup (for serving)
Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Fresh fruit (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a bowl: Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Step 2: Prep the Hawaiian Rolls
Separate Rolls: Carefully separate the Hawaiian rolls into individual pieces. You can leave them whole or slice them in half, depending on your preference.
Step 3: Soak the Rolls
Dip the Rolls: Dip each roll (or half-roll) into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated but not too soggy. Let excess drip off.
Step 4: Cook the French Toast
Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet or griddle, melt butter over medium heat.
Cook the Rolls: Place the soaked rolls in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown on all sides and cooked through.
Step 5: Serve
Plate and Garnish: Transfer the French toast rolls to a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve with maple syrup and fresh fruit.
Optional Toppings:
Fresh berries: Strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
Whipped cream: For an extra indulgent touch
Nuts: Chopped pecans or almonds for a crunch
Coconut flakes: Adds a tropical vibe
