Hawaiian Roll French Toast is a sweet and indulgent breakfast treat made with soft Hawaiian sweet rolls soaked in a rich custard mixture and cooked to golden perfection.
Prepare the Custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
Soak the Rolls: Gently separate the Hawaiian rolls. Dip each roll into the custard mixture, coating all sides. Let them soak for about 15-20 seconds per side, until saturated but not falling apart.
Cook the French Toast: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place the soaked rolls in the hot skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining rolls, using the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
Serve: Arrange the cooked French toast on plates. Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and top with fresh berries, whipped cream, chopped nuts, or coconut flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure not to soak the rolls for too long to prevent them from falling apart.
Experiment with different toppings to customize your French toast.
