This Hawaiian Roll French Toast recipe transforms sweet, fluffy Hawaiian rolls into a decadent breakfast treat. Soaked in a creamy egg mixture infused with vanilla and cinnamon, then pan-fried to golden perfection, this dish is perfect for an indulgent morning meal topped with powdered sugar and maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package (12-count) Hawaiian rolls
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons butter (for frying)

Toppings

  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring an even flavor base for soaking the rolls.
  2. Slice the Rolls: Carefully cut the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally to create two even layers that will soak up the egg mixture effectively.
  3. Dip the Rolls: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a pat of butter to evenly coat the cooking surface. Dip each roll half into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly but avoid soaking them to sogginess.
  4. Cook the Rolls: Place the egg-coated rolls onto the hot skillet. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges, flipping carefully to ensure even cooking.
  5. Serve Immediately: Arrange the cooked French toast pieces on a serving plate. Dust generously with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup if desired. Serve warm and enjoy this sweet, satisfying breakfast.

Notes

  • Use fresh Hawaiian rolls for the best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the cinnamon and sugar according to your taste preference.
  • Ensure the skillet is not too hot to prevent burning before the inside is cooked.
  • Serve immediately; French toast is best enjoyed fresh and warm.
  • Maple syrup is optional but adds a lovely sweetness complementing the cinnamon and vanilla.
