Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 Hawaiian rolls, sliced horizontally
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until smooth and fragrant. This custard is the heart of the recipe, soaking the Hawaiian rolls just long enough to absorb flavor without becoming soggy.
  2. Soak the Hawaiian Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally to create manageable pieces. Dip each piece into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10-15 seconds per side. Ensure the rolls absorb enough custard without falling apart for that perfect fluffy interior.
  3. Cook on a Buttered Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter. Place the soaked rolls on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and beautifully caramelized.
  4. Serve Warm with Your Favorite Toppings: Once cooked, transfer your Hawaiian Roll French Toast to a plate and top with fresh fruits, maple syrup, powdered sugar, or any creative toppings you desire. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale rolls for better custard absorption and less chance of falling apart.
  • Do not over-soak the Hawaiian rolls; a quick dip prevents mushiness.
  • Cook on medium heat to ensure thorough cooking without burning.
  • Consider adding a small amount of oil to butter to prevent burning and achieve a crispy crust.
  • If cooking for a crowd, keep finished French toast warm in a low oven at around 200°F (95°C).
