Ingredients
  

12 Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for frying)

Maple syrup, for serving

Fresh fruit (such as pineapple, strawberries, or bananas) for garnish

Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined.

    Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and create a non-stick surface.

      Dip each sliced Hawaiian roll into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not overly soaked.

        Once the pan is hot, place the dipped rolls onto the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid crowding. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crispy.

          Remove the cooked French toast from the pan and keep warm in a low oven if necessary. Add more butter to the skillet as needed for subsequent batches.

            Serve the Hawaiian Roll French Toast warm, drizzled generously with maple syrup and topped with fresh fruit. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
