Ingredients
  

For the French Toast
  • 6 rolls Hawaiian Rolls A soft, sweet base that brings a delightful tropical flavor.
  • 4 large Eggs Essential for binding and adding richness.

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the flavor beautifully.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Adds a warm, comforting spice.
  • 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg Optional, use sparingly as it's quite potent.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter For cooking, can use oil for a dairy-free version.
For Serving (optional)
  • 1 cup Fresh Fruit Try berries, bananas, or tropical fruits for a fun touch.

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 beaten eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg until smooth and well blended.
  2. Carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls in half, dip each slice into the egg mixture for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  3. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1–2 tablespoons of butter to coat the surface.
  4. Gently place the soaked Hawaiian roll halves cut-side down into the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
  5. Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately, with syrup or fresh fruit as desired.

Notes

Using fresh Hawaiian rolls is crucial; stale rolls can lead to a mushy texture. Don't let the rolls soak too long; aim for 30 seconds to 1 minute to prevent sogginess.
