Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 Hawaiian rolls (left whole or separated)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for cooking)
Serving Suggestions:
- powdered sugar
- maple syrup
- fresh fruit for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
- Dip the Rolls: Dip each Hawaiian roll (or the whole slab of rolls cut in half horizontally) into the custard mixture, coating evenly but not soaking too long.
- Cook the French Toast Rolls: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter. Place the coated rolls onto the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining rolls, adding more butter as needed.
- Serve: Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar, drizzled with maple syrup, and topped with fresh fruit if desired.
Notes
- For a baked version, arrange dipped rolls in a buttered baking dish and bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes.
- For a tropical twist, top with coconut flakes and pineapple.
