Description

This Hawaiian Roll French Toast with Cinnamon Sugar offers a deliciously sweet and indulgent breakfast experience. Soft, sweet Hawaiian rolls are dipped in a flavorful cinnamon-vanilla egg mixture, pan-fried until golden, then coated in a cinnamon sugar blend. Served with salted caramel or syrup for dipping, it’s perfect for a cozy weekend brunch or special occasion brunch menu.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the French Toast Batter

  • 3 large Eggs
  • 3/4 cup Half n Half
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/4 cup White Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

Other Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon Salted Butter, divided
  • 1 12-pack Kings Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls
  • 1/3 cup Salted Caramel or syrup for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, half n half, cinnamon, and vanilla until well combined.
  2. Soak the Rolls: Tear the sweet rolls into individual pieces and briefly submerge them in the batter for 15-20 seconds, making sure not to soak too long to prevent sogginess.
  3. Cook in Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of salted butter. Add half the soaked rolls and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and repeat with remaining butter and rolls.
  4. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish, combine the white sugar and cinnamon. Toss each fried roll in the cinnamon sugar until coated evenly.
  5. Serve: Plate the coated French toast pieces and serve immediately with salted caramel or syrup for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure that the rolls are torn into small enough pieces to soak up the batter quickly but not so long that they become overly soggy.
  • You can prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture ahead of time for ease.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle additional cinnamon or powdered sugar atop before serving.
  • Use high-quality salted caramel or homemade caramel for optimal flavor.
