Step-by-Step Instructions for Hawaiian Roll French Toast
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1 cup of half and half until thoroughly combined.
  2. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Poke several small holes in each of the 6 King's Hawaiian Rolls using a fork.
  4. Dip each roll in the custard mixture for about 30 seconds to soak up the custard.
  5. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat.
  6. Carefully place the soaked rolls in the skillet and cook for about 30 to 60 seconds on each side.
  7. Transfer the rolls to a serving plate while they’re still warm, dust with powdered sugar, and top with fresh fruits.
