Ingredients
  

12 Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half

4 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon

2 tbsp brown sugar

2 tbsp unsalted butter (for frying)

Fresh pineapple, diced (for topping)

Shredded coconut (toasted, for topping)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.

    Soak the Rolls: Place the sliced Hawaiian rolls into the custard mixture, allowing them to soak for about 2-3 minutes on each side, making sure they absorb as much liquid as possible.

      Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Make sure it coats the base of the skillet to prevent sticking.

        Cook the French Toast: Carefully add the soaked rolls to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

          Serve Up: Remove the French toast from the skillet and let it rest briefly on paper towels to absorb any excess butter.

            Garnish: Top with diced fresh pineapple, toasted shredded coconut, and a drizzle of maple syrup. If desired, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

              Enjoy! Serve warm and indulge in the tropical flavors of your Hawaiian Roll French Toast!
