Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half horizontally
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based for variation)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter, for cooking
  • Maple syrup or honey, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth and well combined to form the custard.
  2. Soak the Hawaiian Rolls: Slice the rolls in half horizontally. Dip each piece into the custard mixture, soaking for about 20 to 30 seconds to absorb the liquid evenly without becoming soggy.
  3. Heat the Pan and Add Butter: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt butter until bubbling but not browned, preparing the surface for cooking.
  4. Cook the French Toast: Place the soaked Hawaiian rolls on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from the pan, stack the French toast slices on a plate, and top with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Don’t over-soak the rolls to prevent sogginess and breaking apart.
  • Use fresh Hawaiian rolls for the best texture and custard absorption.
  • Cook on medium heat to allow the custard to cook through without burning.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the custard to balance sweetness and enhance flavor.
  • Keep cooked toast warm in a low oven (200°F) while finishing the rest of the batch.
