Description
A delightful twist on traditional French toast using sweet Hawaiian rolls for a rich and comforting breakfast experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup milk (whole or any dairy/non-dairy alternative)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 12 Hawaiian rolls, sliced horizontally
- Confectioners’ sugar (optional, for serving)
- Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a wide, deep bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush it with two tablespoons of unsalted butter.
- Soak the rolls: Dip the sliced Hawaiian rolls into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly saturated.
- Cooking: Once the skillet is hot, place the rolls on it and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden. Carefully flip them and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup.
Notes
Let soaked rolls sit in custard for an extra minute for richer flavor. Avoid cooking on too high of a flame to prevent burnt outsides.
