Ingredients
  

8 Hawaiian sweet rolls

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Fresh tropical fruits (pineapple, mango, or banana) for topping

Maple syrup for drizzling

Powdered sugar for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined.

    Slice the Rolls: Carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls in half, creating a top and bottom for each roll. If desired, you can leave them connected for a more whimsical presentation.

      Soak the Rolls: Dip each slice of Hawaiian roll into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 15-20 seconds on each side. Make sure they are well-coated but not overly soggy.

        Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or griddle, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble.

          Cook the French Toast: Place the soaked rolls in the skillet, cut side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

            Serve: Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a serving platter. Top with freshly sliced tropical fruits, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the delicious fusion of flavors with each bite!
