Ingredients
  

12 Hawaiian rolls (or slider buns)

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup coconut milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)

Fresh pineapple slices (for serving)

Maple syrup (for drizzling)

Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Chopped macadamia nuts (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

    Slice the Rolls: Carefully slice each Hawaiian roll in half, creating a sandwich effect. This will allow them to soak up the egg mixture better.

      Soak the Rolls: Dip each half of the Hawaiian roll into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for about 10-15 seconds on each side to absorb the liquid.

        Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or griddle, melt the butter over medium heat until bubbly and slightly browned.

          Cook the French Toast: Place the soaked Hawaiian rolls cut side down on the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

            Serve: Once all the rolls are cooked, stack them on a plate. Top with fresh pineapple slices, a generous drizzle of maple syrup, and sprinkle with powdered sugar and chopped macadamia nuts if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy a delightful taste of the tropics for breakfast!
