Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 Hawaiian rolls (halved or left whole)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk or heavy cream
Spices and Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Cooking and Serving Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (for serving)
- Fresh fruit (for serving)
Instructions
- Craft a luxurious custard blend by whisking eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until silky and uniform.
- Carefully slice Hawaiian rolls horizontally or keep whole for a more substantial breakfast treat.
- Immerse each roll into the fragrant custard mixture, allowing 15-20 seconds of absorption on each side to guarantee maximum flavor infusion.
- Preheat a skillet to medium temperature and generously coat the surface with melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Gently transfer the saturated rolls onto the hot skillet, creating a rhythmic sizzle as they make contact.
- Cook each side for 2-3 minutes, monitoring the development of a golden-brown exterior with crispy, caramelized edges.
- Once perfectly toasted, transfer the rolls to serving plates, presenting them while warm and inviting.
- Enhance the experience by drizzling with pure maple syrup, dusting with powdered sugar, or garnishing with vibrant fresh berries for a delightful finishing touch.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth, well-blended custard mixture that coats the rolls evenly.
- Slice rolls horizontally for a traditional French toast texture or keep whole for a more substantial, pillow-like breakfast treat.
- Customize the spice blend by adding a pinch of cardamom or replacing nutmeg with ground ginger for a unique flavor profile.
- Opt for gluten-free Hawaiian rolls or alternative bread to make this recipe suitable for those with dietary restrictions.
