Description

Hawaiian Roll French Toast takes soft, sweet Hawaiian rolls and turns them into golden, pillowy bites of breakfast heaven. Each roll is dipped in a cinnamon-vanilla egg mixture, cooked until perfectly golden, and topped with your favorite syrup or fruit. It’s fast, easy, and totally irresistible!

Ingredients

1 package (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
4 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
Butter or oil, for cooking

Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for topping

Instructions

Prep the Rolls: Leave the rolls attached or separate them—your choice! Slice each roll in half horizontally.
Make the Custard: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar (if using).
Heat the Pan: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a bit of butter or oil.
Dip & Cook: Dip each roll half into the egg mixture, letting it soak briefly. Place on the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2–3 minutes per side.

Serve: Serve warm with syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or fresh berries.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of orange juice or a dash of nutmeg to the egg mixture.
Use day-old rolls for best results—they soak up the custard without getting soggy.

These also bake well! Arrange in a dish, pour custard over, and bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes for a casserole-style version.
