Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Butter, for cooking
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh fruits, whipped cream, powdered sugar
Instructions
- Start by slicing each Hawaiian roll in half horizontally.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Dip each roll half into the custard mixture, ensuring they soak for about 30 seconds on each side to absorb the flavors.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until it’s bubbling.
- Place the soaked rolls cut-side down in the skillet. Cook them for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown, then flip to cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Continue this process until all rolls are cooked, adding more butter as needed for frying.
- Keep your finished French toast warm in a low oven until you’re ready to serve.
- Plate with your favorite toppings and enjoy every bite!
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of almond extract to the custard mixture.
