Main Ingredients:
- 12 Hawaiian Rolls, sliced horizontally
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) unsalted butter
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) milk (whole milk or any dairy/non-dairy alternative)
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Garnish Ingredients:
- Confectioners’ sugar, optional

Instructions
- Craft a luxurious custard base by thoroughly whisking together eggs, whole milk (236 milliliters/8 fluid ounces), pure vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, kosher salt, and freshly grated nutmeg in a spacious, wide mixing bowl until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Preheat a large non-stick griddle or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, ensuring even temperature distribution.
- Generously coat the cooking surface with of unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and create a golden, slick surface.
- Gently split each Hawaiian roll in half and delicately submerge each piece into the egg mixture, ensuring complete saturation but carefully draining excess liquid to prevent sogginess.
- Carefully place the soaked roll halves onto the heated buttered surface, allowing them to transform into a rich, caramelized golden-brown color, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Monitor the cooking process closely, flipping once to achieve an even, crisp exterior while maintaining a tender, custardy interior.
- Transfer the French toast rolls to serving plates and dust generously with powdered sugar, accompanying with warm maple syrup for an indulgent breakfast experience.
Notes
- Toast these sweet rolls for a delightful breakfast twist that transforms ordinary Hawaiian rolls into a decadent morning treat.
- Slice rolls in half to ensure even cooking and maximum flavor absorption when dipping into the creamy egg mixture.
- Use room temperature ingredients to help eggs coat the rolls more evenly and create a smoother custard-like texture.
- Medium heat is crucial to prevent burning while allowing the rolls to develop a beautiful golden-brown exterior and soft, custardy interior.
- Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy the rolls at peak crispiness and warmth, with a dusting of powdered sugar or drizzle of maple syrup.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster oven to maintain their crispy edges and prevent sogginess.
