Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 Kings Sweet Hawaiian Rolls
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup half and half
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 4 tablespoons butter (divided)
  • Powdered sugar (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rolls: Separate the Hawaiian rolls into individual buns to prepare them for soaking in the egg mixture.
  2. Make the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Heat the Skillet: Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat to ensure even cooking and to prevent burning. Adjust the heat as needed since stove temperatures vary.
  4. Melt Butter: Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the heated skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom evenly to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  5. Dip the Rolls: Dip 4 to 6 split Hawaiian roll pieces into the egg mixture, making sure all sides are thoroughly coated but not soggy.
  6. Cook the French Toast: Place the coated rolls onto the skillet and cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring all sides—including tops and bottoms—turn a golden brown color. Use additional butter as needed when cooking subsequent batches.
  7. Serve: Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a serving plate. Dust lightly with powdered sugar and serve warm with your choice of fresh fruit, maple syrup, or honey for extra sweetness and flavor.

Notes

  • Adjust the stove heat carefully to prevent burning the butter or toast.
  • Use fresh Hawaiian rolls for best texture and flavor.
  • French toast is best served immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven.
  • For a dairy-free variation, substitute half and half with almond or oat milk and use vegan butter.
  • Adding a pinch of salt to the egg mixture can balance the sweetness if desired.
