Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
For Serving
- Powdered sugar
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the rolls: Separate the Hawaiian rolls, keeping them whole or halving them if desired for smaller portions.
- Make the egg mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Heat the skillet: Warm a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
- Dip the rolls: Dip each roll into the egg mixture, turning to coat all sides evenly but avoiding soaking them for too long to prevent sogginess.
- Cook the rolls: Place the dipped rolls on the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat as needed: Continue dipping and cooking the remaining rolls, adding more butter to the skillet as necessary to prevent sticking.
- Serve: Serve the French toast warm topped with powdered sugar and maple syrup. Optionally, add tropical toppings like sliced bananas or toasted coconut for extra flavor.
Notes
- Add a tropical twist by topping with sliced bananas, toasted coconut, or pineapple for extra flavor.
- This recipe is ideal for brunch or holiday breakfasts.
- You can make the French toast in advance and reheat it gently in the oven before serving.
