Hawaiian Roll French Toast

Hawaiian Roll French Toast:

Ingredients:

• 1 package of Hawaiian rolls (12 rolls)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
• Pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for cooking)
• Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) for topping
• Powdered sugar for dusting
• Maple syrup (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rolls:
   • Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half, creating top and bottom halves. If desired, you can leave them whole for thicker French toast slices.
2. Make the Custard:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
3. Soak the Rolls:
   • Dip each half of the Hawaiian rolls into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Allow the rolls to soak for a few seconds, so they absorb the custard.
4. Cook the French Toast:
   • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the surface of the pan.
   • Place the soaked Hawaiian roll halves onto the skillet or griddle. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary, adding more butter as needed.
5. Serve:
   • Once the French toast is golden brown and cooked through, transfer to a serving plate.
   • Top with fresh berries and dust with powdered sugar.
   • Serve with a side of maple syrup if desired.
