Description
Hawaiian Roll French Toast is the ultimate breakfast treat—soft, sweet, and fluffy rolls soaked in a rich egg mixture and cooked to golden perfection. Topped with syrup, berries, or whipped cream, it’s a decadent way to start your day.
Ingredients
- 1 package (12 count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole milk recommended for richness)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), whipped cream, chopped nuts, coconut flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if baking, or prepare a skillet over medium heat for stovetop cooking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Slice Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally.
- Dip each roll half into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak briefly.
- For stovetop: Melt 1–2 tablespoons butter in a skillet and cook each roll until golden brown on both sides.
- For oven-baked: Arrange soaked rolls in a baking dish with butter dots on top and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and set.
- Serve warm with your choice of toppings: syrup, berries, whipped cream, nuts, or coconut flakes.
Notes
- Use day-old rolls for better soaking and texture.
- Customize with chocolate chips or peanut butter for extra flavor.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave, though best enjoyed fresh.
