A delightful twist on classic French toast using soft and sweet Hawaiian rolls, perfect for brunch or quick breakfast treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 Hawaiian rolls (soft, dinner-size)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2% for best richness; almond or oat milk works for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup sugar (substitute maple syrup or honey, reduce if using a sweet milk)
  • Butter for cooking (or oil for dairy-free)
  • Maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  1. Slice each Hawaiian roll in half horizontally and arrange the halves in a shallow baking dish, cut side up.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sliced rolls. Press gently so the custard soaks into the rolls, and let them sit for 3–5 minutes.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a pat of butter to coat the surface.
  5. Transfer soaked roll halves to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side or until a deep golden-brown crust forms.
  6. Serve immediately, warm, with maple syrup and any toppings you like.

Notes

For a lower-sugar version, reduce the sugar to 2 tablespoons and top with fresh fruit.
