Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or heavy cream), sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully combined.
  2. Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and allow it to warm up for about 3-5 minutes. Melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter.
  3. Carefully slice each Hawaiian roll in half horizontally, creating pockets for your custard.
  4. Dip each half of the sliced Hawaiian rolls into the custard mixture, soaking for about 10-15 seconds on each side.
  5. Place the soaked rolls cut-side down on the preheated skillet and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Remove the French toast from the skillet and repeat the soaking and cooking process for remaining rolls.
  7. Once cooked, stack the French toast on a serving platter and serve warm with your favorite toppings.
