1 package (12-count) Hawaiian sweet rolls

3 large eggs

1/2 cup whole milk
04 -
1/4 cup heavy cream

2–3 tablespoons unsalted butter, for frying
09 -
Powdered sugar, for dusting

# How to Make It:
01 -
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar until well combined and smooth.
02 -
Using a serrated knife, slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally to create two even layers for each roll.
03 -
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt a small amount of butter to coat the surface. Working in batches, dip each roll half into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are moistened but not saturated.
04 -
Place the dipped rolls onto the heated skillet. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown and lightly crisped on the edges. Add additional butter as needed between batches.
05 -
Arrange the warm French toast pieces on a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup, if desired. Serve immediately.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Substitute brioche or challah if Hawaiian rolls are unavailable for similar texture and sweetness.
