Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Hawaiian Roll French Toast
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together large eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
  2. Carefully separate the Hawaiian sweet rolls and dip each piece into the custard mixture, soaking for about 15-20 seconds per side.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt unsalted butter. Place the soaked rolls in the skillet, leaving space between them. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Transfer the French toast to serving plates and add desired toppings like maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries immediately.
