Description
looking to elevate your French toast game, this Hawaiian Roll French Toast recipe is the perfect way to do it.
Ingredients
- Eggs: Large eggs work best for creating a smooth, rich custard.
- Milk: Whole milk gives a creamy texture, but feel free to substitute with dairy-free options like almond or oat milk.
- Vanilla Extract: For that warm, comforting flavor.
- Ground Cinnamon: Adds a nice spiced depth.
- Salt: Enhances the flavor of the custard.
- Nutmeg: A small pinch adds a subtle warmth to the mix.
- Unsalted Butter: Essential for frying the French toast to golden perfection.

Instructions
Now that you’ve got all the ingredients ready, here’s how to bring this delicious recipe to life.
Step 1: Make the Custard Batter
In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Make sure everything is well combined before dipping the rolls.
Step 2: Cook the French Toast
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, brush it with a little butter to prevent sticking. Dip each half of the Hawaiian roll into the custard batter, ensuring both sides are well coated. Let any excess batter drip off before placing the rolls onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
Once all the rolls are cooked, serve them immediately. You can sprinkle powdered sugar over the top and drizzle with maple syrup if you like. Keep the cooked French toast warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the remaining rolls.
