Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 package King's Sweet Hawaiian Rolls The star of this dish, providing unbeatable softness and sweetness.
  • 4 large Eggs Serves as the binder for the custard; swap with flax eggs for a vegan twist.
  • 1 cup Half and Half Adds a creamy richness; use almond milk for dairy-free.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Infuses a wonderful flavor; imitation vanilla is a great alternative if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar Sweetens the mix just right; consider brown sugar for deeper flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Gives warmth and tradition; try pumpkin spice for a seasonal flair.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg Lends a hint of earthiness; feel free to omit if you don’t have it on hand.
For Cooking
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Essential for that crispy, flavorful outer layer; swap with coconut oil for dairy-free.
For Serving
  • 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar Perfect for a sweet finish; skip for a more understated presentation.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by separating the King's Sweet Hawaiian Rolls into individual pieces or slice them horizontally for smaller, bite-sized portions.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Place a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat, allowing it to warm up gradually.
  4. Once the skillet is heated, add 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
  5. Take 4-6 pieces of the prepared Hawaiian rolls and gently dip them into the egg mixture, ensuring that all sides are coated without soaking them for too long.
  6. Carefully place the dipped rolls in the hot skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, watching for a golden-brown color to develop.
  7. Once the French toast pieces are perfectly golden brown and cooked through, transfer them to a serving platter. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and have your favorite toppings ready.
