Ingredients

1 package Hawaiian rolls

4 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon sugar

2 tablespoons butter

Maple syrup, for serving

Powdered sugar, for dusting

Fresh fruit, for topping


Directions

1.

Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, creating two pieces for each roll, and set aside.

2.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.

3.

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.

4.

Dip each piece of Hawaiian roll into the egg mixture, ensuring they are fully soaked but not overly saturated.

5.

Place the soaked rolls on the hot skillet, cooking each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

6.

Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate, keeping them warm while you finish the batch.

7.

Serve the Hawaiian Roll French Toast with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and fresh fruit if desired.
