Ingredients

  • 1 package of King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for frying
  • Optional toppings: coconut syrup or maple syrup, fresh strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries

Instructions

  • Prepare the Rolls: Slice each Hawaiian roll in half horizontally to create more surface area for the custard.
  • Make the Custard: In a shallow mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  • Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter or oil, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
  • Dip the Rolls: Quickly dip each roll half into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not soaked to prevent sogginess.
  • Cook: Place the coated rolls onto the heated skillet. Cook until golden brown on one side, approximately 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve: Transfer the French toast to a plate and top with your choice of coconut syrup or maple syrup and fresh berries.

Notes

  • For a fun twist, you can stuff the rolls with cream cheese, chocolate chips, or fruit preserves before dipping in the custard.
  • Feel free to use plant-based milk and dairy-free butter to make this recipe dairy-free.
  • To prevent sogginess, dip the rolls quickly in the custard and avoid soaking them.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled or halved depending on how many servings you need.
