Ingredients
-
6-8 Hawaiian rolls (mini or regular size)
-
3 large eggs
-
1/2 cup milk
-
1/4 cup heavy cream (optional for richness)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter (for cooking)
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon (for cinnamon sugar topping)
-
Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
- Maple syrup (for serving, optional)
Instructions
-
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream (if using), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
-
Slice the Hawaiian rolls into halves or quarters, depending on the size of the rolls.
-
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar topping.
-
Dip each piece of Hawaiian roll into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Let the excess drip off before placing it in the skillet.
-
Cook the French toast pieces for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more butter to the skillet if needed between batches.
-
Immediately toss the cooked French toast pieces in the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating each piece evenly.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup for extra sweetness
Notes
-
For extra indulgence, top the French toast with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
-
If you prefer a less sweet French toast, reduce the amount of cinnamon sugar topping.
-
You can make the egg mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a quick breakfast option the next day.
- For a fun variation, try adding chocolate chips, nuts, or banana slices to the egg mixture before dipping
