Hello, dear friends and fellow food enthusiasts! Today, I am thrilled to share with you a breakfast treat that promises to elevate your morning routine to a whole new level of deliciousness.

Hawaiian Roll French ToastSAVE THIS!

Introducing the Hawaiian Roll French Toast—a delightful fusion of sweet, pillowy goodness and classic French toast flavors that will have you swooning with every bite.

Imagine sinking your teeth into soft, cinnamon-sugar kissed clouds that melt effortlessly in your mouth. This dish is not just a breakfast; it’s an experience—a symphony of flavors that perfectly balances sweetness and warmth. Whether you’re preparing this for a leisurely weekend brunch or a special breakfast-in-bed surprise, Hawaiian Roll French Toast is sure to impress.

The Perfect Blend of Flavors

What makes this recipe truly special is its unique combination of ingredients. We start with King’s Hawaiian Rolls, known for their soft, sweet texture that complements the rich custard beautifully. The rolls are dipped in a mixture of eggs, half and half (or whole milk), vanilla extract, cinnamon, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. This custard mixture infuses the bread with flavor while keeping it wonderfully moist.

Quick and Easy Preparation

One of the best aspects of this recipe is its simplicity. With just 5 minutes of prep time and 10 minutes of cooking, you’ll have a delectable breakfast ready in no time. Here’s how you can create this masterpiece:

Ingredients:

  • 1 12-pack King’s Hawaiian Rolls
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup half and half or whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter for cooking
  • Powdered sugar, fresh fruit, maple syrup for serving

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and half and half until fully combined. Add in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt, whisking until incorporated.
  2. Prep the Rolls: Using a toothpick or skewer, poke several holes in the bottom of each roll. This allows the custard to soak in more effectively.
  3. Soak the Rolls: Working in batches, dip the rolls into the custard mixture, letting them soak for about 30 seconds. Turn them to coat all sides evenly. Be careful not to soak them for too long to prevent sogginess.
  4. Cook to Perfection: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Cook the soaked rolls for 30-60 seconds per side until they are golden brown. Use a spatula to carefully turn them and ensure all sides are crispy.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the warm Hawaiian Roll French Toast dusted with powdered sugar. Top with fresh berries and drizzle with maple syrup if desired.

A Breakfast to Remember

This Hawaiian Roll French Toast is more than just food—it’s a celebration of flavor and texture that brings joy to the table. Whether you’re sharing it with family or indulging solo, it’s sure to become a cherished favorite in your breakfast repertoire.

So go ahead, give this recipe a try, and let me know how it turns out! I promise it will be love at first bite.

Happy cooking!

Description

Oh friends, have I got a treat for you today! This Hawaiian Roll French Toast is, hands down, one of the most delicious breakfast creations I’ve ever sunk my teeth into. We’re talking sweet, pillowy clouds of cinnamon-sugar bliss that practically melt in your mouth.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12-pack) King’s Hawaiian Rolls
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup half and half or whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter, for cooking
  • Powdered sugar, fresh fruit, maple syrup for serving


Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and half and half until fully combined.
Whisk in the vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt until incorporated.
Use a toothpick or skewer to poke several holes in the bottom of each roll so the custard can soak in.
Working in batches, dip the rolls into the custard mixture and let soak for 30 seconds, turning to coat all sides. Don’t soak longer or they’ll get soggy.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Cook the soaked rolls for 30-60 seconds per side until golden brown, turning carefully with a spatula to get all sides crispy.


Serve the Hawaiian Roll French Toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with fresh berries and maple syrup if desired.


Notes

Do not over-soak the rolls. A quick dip is enough to absorb flavor without turning them mushy. Use medium-low heat to avoid burning the sugary exterior.
