Ingredients
  

8 Hawaiian sweet rolls

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for cooking)

½ cup fresh pineapple chunks (for serving)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Rolls: Cut each Hawaiian roll in half horizontally to create a top and bottom. Set aside.

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

      Soak the Rolls: Dip each roll half into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for about 15-20 seconds on each side, ensuring they are well coated but not too soggy.

        Cook the Toast: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted and bubbly, place the soaked rolls on the skillet, cut side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.

          Serve: Once cooked, remove the rolls from the skillet and serve warm. Top with fresh pineapple chunks, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

            Enjoy: Dig into your delicious Aloha Hawaiian Roll French Toast and savor the tropical flavors!
