Ingredients
  

8 Hawaiian sweet rolls

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)

1/4 cup butter (for frying)

Fresh fruit (like sliced bananas, strawberries, or pineapple) for topping

Maple syrup, for serving

Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined. Set aside.

    Slice the Rolls: Cut each Hawaiian roll in half horizontally. If you prefer a thicker French toast, you can also leave them whole.

      Soak the Rolls: Dip each roll half into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Allow them to soak for about 30 seconds to 1 minute to absorb the mixture.

        Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet or griddle, melt butter over medium heat until it is hot and bubbly.

          Cook the Rolls: Place the soaked Hawaiian rolls in the skillet, cut side down. Cook until golden brown on one side, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.

            Repeat: Continue this process until all the rolls are cooked, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

              Serve Your French Toast: Stack the golden Hawaiian Roll French toast on plates. Top with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if desired.

                Enjoy! Serve warm and delight in the sweet, fluffy goodness of Hawaiian Roll French Toast!
