Ingredients
- 8 Hawaiian rolls
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Butter for frying
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for best results.
- Slice Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom for each roll.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a pat of butter to coat the cooking surface.
- Dip each Hawaiian roll half into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not soggy. Allow excess mixture to drip off.
- Place the soaked roll halves onto the heated, buttered skillet. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer cooked French toast rolls to a serving plate. Repeat cooking process with remaining roll halves, adding butter to the pan as needed.
- Dust the cooked rolls with additional powdered sugar or cinnamon if desired.
- Serve immediately with warm maple syrup drizzled over the top.
- Garnish with fresh berries or whipped cream for an extra special touch.
Tips
- • Always use room temperature eggs and milk for the smoothest, most even egg mixture • Don't soak the rolls too long - a quick dip is all you need to prevent soggy toast • Use medium heat to ensure even browning without burning • Add a pinch of salt to your egg mixture to enhance the overall flavor profile • For extra richness, consider using half-and-half instead of milk • Keep cooked rolls warm in a low-temperature oven (200°F) while preparing the entire batch • For a decadent twist, try stuffing the rolls with cream cheese before dipping • Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned griddle for the best results • Fresh rolls work best - slightly stale rolls can become too mushy
