Description

Hawaiian Roll French Toast is a sweet, fluffy twist on a classic breakfast favorite. Soft Hawaiian rolls are soaked in a rich, spiced custard, then pan-fried to golden perfection. With a buttery, caramelized crust and a pillowy center, this French toast is perfect for a cozy weekend breakfast or a special brunch. Top it with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar for an irresistible treat!


Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 Hawaiian rolls (halved or left whole)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
  • Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.
  2. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half or leave them whole for thicker French toast.
  3. Dip each roll into the custard mixture, letting it soak for 15-20 seconds per side.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter to coat the surface.
  5. Place the soaked rolls onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  6. Remove from the skillet and serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
