Ingredients

Units Scale

Egg Batter

  • 3 large Eggs
  • 3/4 cup Half n Half
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

For Frying

  • 3 tablespoon Salted Butter (divided)

Sweet Rolls

  • 1 12-pack Kings Hawaiian Original Sweet Rolls

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/4 cup White Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

Dipping Sauce

  • 1/3 cup Salted Caramel or Syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare Egg Batter: In a medium-sized bowl, combine eggs, half n half, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Prepare Sweet Rolls: Tear the sweet rolls into bite-sized pieces. Dip each piece into the batter for about 15-20 seconds, ensuring they are soaked but not overly soggy.
  3. Cook the Rolls: Heat a large fry pan over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of salted butter. Add half of the dipped roll pieces to the pan and cook until golden brown on all six sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm. Repeat with remaining butter and rolls.
  4. Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a shallow dish, stir together white sugar and cinnamon. Toss each cooked French toast piece in the cinnamon sugar until coated evenly.
  5. Serve: Plate the coated French toast pieces. Serve with salted caramel or syrup on the side for dipping, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure not to soak the bread pieces too long to avoid excessive sogginess.
  • Adjust the cinnamon and sugar according to your taste preferences for sweetness and spice.
  • For an extra indulgence, sprinkle powdered sugar or whipped cream on top before serving.
