This Hawaiian Roll French Toast recipe offers a delicious twist on traditional French toast using sweet, fluffy Hawaiian rolls. The rolls are dipped in a rich, cinnamon-vanilla egg mixture and pan-fried to golden perfection, resulting in a soft yet slightly crisp breakfast treat. Serve it dusted with powdered sugar and maple syrup for an irresistible morning indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

French Toast Base

  • 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian rolls
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For Cooking and Serving

  • 2–3 tablespoons butter (for frying)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Slice the Rolls: Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, creating two even layers for dipping and cooking.
  3. Dip the Rolls: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a pat of butter to coat the surface. Dip each roll half into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly but avoiding soaking to prevent sogginess.
  4. Cook the Rolls: Place the dipped rolls onto the heated skillet. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and develop slightly crisp edges.
  5. Serve Immediately: Arrange the cooked French toast on a serving plate. Lightly dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use Hawaiian rolls for a naturally sweet and fluffy texture.
  • Adjust cinnamon and sugar in the egg mixture to taste for a spicier or sweeter flavor.
  • Ensure the skillet is properly heated and butter melted before cooking to achieve a golden crust.
  • Serve immediately for the best taste and texture; French toast is best enjoyed warm.
  • Optional toppings like fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts complement this recipe well.
