Ingredients
  

8 Hawaiian rolls (sliced in half)

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon brown sugar

Zest of 1 orange (optional)

2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Fresh fruit (e.g., sliced strawberries, bananas, or kiwi for garnish)

Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and orange zest (if using) until well combined.

    Soak the Rolls: Dip each half of the Hawaiian rolls into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well soaked. Allow the rolls to sit for about 2-3 minutes to absorb the mixture.

      Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or griddle, melt the butter over medium heat. Ensure the butter coats the bottom of the pan thoroughly.

        Cook the French Toast: Place the soaked Hawaiian roll halves cut side down onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

          Repeat: Remove the cooked pieces and transfer them to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining soaked rolls, adding more butter to the pan as needed.

            Serve: Stack the Hawaiian Roll French Toast on a serving platter. Drizzle with maple syrup, garnish with fresh fruit, and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy the sweet, tropical flavors of your Hawaiian Roll French Toast!
