Hawaiian Roll French Toast

Step 1

Crack your eggs into a large bowl, then add the half and half. Whisk until they full combined and you no longer see bits of egg whites.

Step 2

Add in the vanilla, cinnamon, sugar, and salt and whisk again.

Step 3

Take a toothpick or skewer and poke a few holes in the bottom of each roll so the egg mixture can soak in a bit better.

Step 4

Drop a few rolls at a time in the egg mixture and allow to soak for about 30 seconds. (not much longer or they will be too mushy)

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. (If your heat is too high, the outside of the rolls will burn before the inside can cook.)

Step 6

Add about 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and allow to melt. You can add more butter for each batch of rolls (I like to cook only 4 rolls at a time since it's a lot of turning)

Step 7

Add the soaked rolls to the pan and turn the rolls after about 30 seconds per side or when each side is golden brown. (You should cook each of the 4 sides plus the top and bottom.)

Step 8

Once all the rolls are cooked, you can serve them immediately.( I like to sprinkle some powdered sugar on top and serve with berries and maple syrup. Bacon is also a great side dish for these sweet rolls!)
