This Hawaiian Roll French Toast recipe transforms sweet, fluffy Hawaiian rolls into a delightful breakfast treat. Coated in a creamy vanilla-cinnamon egg mixture and pan-fried to golden perfection, this dish is quick, easy, and perfect for weekend mornings or special brunches.

Ingredients

Scale

French Toast Base

  • 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, creating a flavorful custard base.
  2. Slice the Rolls: Carefully cut the Hawaiian rolls horizontally in half, creating two even layers from each roll to ensure thorough coating and cooking.
  3. Dip the Rolls: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a pat of butter to coat the cooking surface. Dip each roll half into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated evenly but not soaked to prevent sogginess.
  4. Cook the Rolls: Place the dipped rolls onto the heated skillet. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until the surface is golden brown and slightly crisp along the edges, ensuring the bread is cooked through and deliciously caramelized.
  5. Serve Immediately: Arrange the cooked French toast rolls on a serving plate. Lightly dust them with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup if desired. Serve warm to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use Hawaiian rolls fresh from the package for the best soft texture and sweetness.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar in the egg mixture according to your taste preference.
  • Butter can be substituted with oil for frying if preferred, but butter adds a richer flavor.
  • Serve with fresh fruit or whipped cream for added indulgence.
  • To keep cooked French toast warm before serving, place them on a baking sheet in a low oven (about 200°F) while finishing the batch.
