Ingredients

Scale

Let’s gather our ingredients, shall we? You’ll only need a handful of things, most of which you probably already have in your pantry or fridge:

12 Hawaiian rolls
4 large eggs
1 cup of milk (whole or any preferred type)
2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons of butter for cooking
Maple syrup or powdered sugar for serving

If you’re out of Hawaiian rolls, brioche or challah make excellent substitutes. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of almond extract for an extra layer of flavor.

Instructions

Ready to dive in? Follow these simple steps to create your own delicious Hawaiian Roll French Toast:

Start by preheating your frying pan over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Sit your Hawaiian rolls in the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for about 2 minutes on each side. You want them to absorb all that custardy goodness without falling apart.
Place the soaked rolls onto the hot pan, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the exterior is beautifully golden brown.
Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining rolls, adding more butter to the pan if necessary.
Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup or dusted with powdered sugar for that extra touch of sweetness.

And there you have it! A breakfast that’s as easy as it is delightful. I promise, this will become a morning staple in no time.
