Description
Hawaiian Roll French Toast is a sweet and pillowy breakfast dish that combines the delightful flavors of Hawaiian rolls with a rich custard, creating a perfect morning treat.
Ingredients
- King’s Hawaiian Rolls: 1 pack (12 rolls)
- Large Eggs: 3
- Half-and-Half or Whole Milk: 3/4 cup
- Vanilla Extract: 1 tablespoon
- Ground Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Brown Sugar: 2 tablespoons
- Salt: A pinch
- Butter: 4 tablespoons (divided, for cooking)
- Optional Toppings: Powdered Sugar, Fresh Berries, Maple Syrup, Whipped Cream, Chocolate Chips or Caramel Drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare the Custard: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Prep the Rolls: Keep the rolls intact and poke small holes in the bottom of each roll with a toothpick or skewer to help the custard soak in.
- Soak the Rolls: Pour the custard into a shallow dish. Dip each roll into the mixture for about 30 seconds per side, ensuring even coating without oversoaking.
- Cook the Rolls: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Place the soaked rolls in the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the cooked rolls to a platter, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve with maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream. Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce if desired.
Notes
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
- Cook in multiple batches if necessary, adding more butter as needed.
