Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk (I use whole milk, but you can use any dairy or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • tsp nutmeg
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 12 Hawaiian Rolls, sliced horizontally (I use King's Hawaiian sweet rolls)
  • Confectioners' sugar, optional for serving
  • Maple syrup, optional for serving

Instructions

  • Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a wide, deep bowl.
  • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and brush with 1 Tbsp of the butter.
  • Working in batches, dip Hawaiian roll halves into egg/milk mixture until saturated and shake off excess liquid before placing rolls on heated griddle.
  • Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on other side.
  • Remove to a plate and keep warm while you continue cooking the remaining rolls. Add more butter to griddle as needed until all rolls have been dipped and toasted.
  • Sprinkle powdered sugar over Hawaiian roll french toast and drizzle on maple syrup, if desired, before serving.
