Ingredients

Scale

French Toast Ingredients

  • 1 pack King’s Hawaiian Rolls (fresh and soft)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup half and half (or whole milk)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 tbsp butter (for cooking)

For Serving

  • Powdered sugar
  • Fresh fruit (such as berries)
  • Maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare Custard Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and half and half until fully combined to create a smooth custard base.
  2. Add Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt, blending well to infuse the custard with warmth and sweetness.
  3. Prepare Rolls: Use a toothpick to poke several holes in the bottom of each King’s Hawaiian roll to allow the custard to soak in deeply.
  4. Soak Rolls: Dip each roll into the custard mixture for about 30 seconds, turning gently to ensure even absorption without making them soggy.
  5. Heat Butter: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, preparing a non-stick surface for cooking the rolls.
  6. Cook Rolls: Place the soaked rolls in the skillet and cook for 30 to 60 seconds on each side until they are golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside.
  7. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the French toast warm, dusted with powdered sugar, topped with fresh fruit, and drizzled with maple syrup for a delicious finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the skillet is at medium-low heat to prevent burning while allowing the rolls to cook through evenly.
  • Use fresh and soft King’s Hawaiian Rolls for the best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust soaking time if rolls feel too soggy or too dry before cooking.
  • Fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries complement the sweetness perfectly.
  • This recipe serves about 4 people, depending on portion size.
