Instructions

Prepare the Rolls:
Slice each Hawaiian roll horizontally in half to create two thinner sections. This method of slicing allows the bread to absorb more custard, resulting in a soft and creamy center.
How to Make the Custard:
In a large bowl combine eggs and half and half in a whisk. Mix in the vanilla flavor, brown sugar, and cinnamon. I also like to stir in a little bit of nutmeg for extra warmth, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to.
Cook the French Toast:
Warm up a flat cooking surface or large frying pan on medium-low heat, melt a tablespoon of butter, dip each roll half in the egg mixture for 30 seconds per side, then cook until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side). I find using a non-stick pan helps prevent sticking, especially if you’re cooking in batches.
Serve:
Put the food on a plate and serve it while it’s warm. You can add toppings like powdered sugar, maple syrup, or fresh berries. I also like to add a spoonful of whipped cream for an extra special touch.

Notes

Don’t Over-Soak: The key to perfect Hawaiian Roll French Toast is to avoid over-soaking the rolls. They should be coated but not saturated.

Medium Heat: Cooking over medium heat ensures that the French toast cooks evenly without burning.

Baked: For a larger batch, you can arrange the soaked rolls on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
