Ingredients
  

8 Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 tablespoon brown sugar

Pinch of salt

Butter, for cooking

Maple syrup, for serving

Fresh fruits (such as berries and banana slices), for topping

Shredded coconut, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

    Soak the Rolls: Dip each half of the Hawaiian rolls into the custard mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow them to soak for about 2-3 minutes per side to absorb as much liquid as possible.

      Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or griddle, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. You may need more butter for subsequent batches.

        Cook the French Toast: Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the soaked Hawaiian roll halves in the pan, cut-side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.

          Keep Warm: Remove the cooked French toast and place it on a baking sheet, covering loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm while you cook the remaining rolls.

            Serve: Stack the French toast on plates and drizzle with maple syrup. Top with fresh fruits of your choice and sprinkle shredded coconut on top if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your tropical breakfast delight!
