Creating Hawaiian Roll French Toast is a simple process that anyone can follow. Here’s how to do it:
1. Prepare the Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, creating 12 equally cut pieces. Set aside.
2. Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
3. Soak the Rolls: Dip each slice of Hawaiian roll into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for a few seconds. Ensure they are well-coated but not overly soggy.
4. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet or griddle, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat until it bubbles and is slightly browned.
5. Cook the Toast: Place the soaked rolls in the skillet in batches, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Repeat: Repeat the process for the remaining rolls, adding more butter as needed.
7. Serve Warm: Remove the French toast from the skillet and place it on a serving plate. Keep warm while you finish cooking all rolls.
8. Garnish and Serve: Drizzle with maple syrup and top with fresh fruit or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
These straightforward steps make it easy to enjoy this incredible dish that is sure to become a breakfast favorite!
