Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until smooth.
Add the cubed Hawaiian rolls to the mixture, stirring gently to coat each piece. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to soak.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the soaked Hawaiian roll cubes and cook for about 4-5 minutes, flipping gently until golden brown on all sides.
Transfer the cooked French toast to a baking dish and place it in the oven for an additional 5 minutes to ensure it’s fully set.
Serve warm with powdered sugar, maple syrup, and fresh berries on top.

Notes

For a grown-up twist, add a splash of rum or bourbon to the egg mixture.
Top with a crunchy streusel made of butter, sugar, and flour before baking for added texture.
Toasted coconut flakes can add a tropical vibe.
Use flavored syrups like chocolate or fruit-infused ones for a fun twist.
Whipped cream and chopped nuts are great additions for a richer finish.
