Step 4 – Cook about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy in the pan.
- Step 5 – Remove from heat and place on a serving plate. Repeat with the remaining rolls.
- Step 6 – Serve the French toast warm, topped with your favorite syrup and toppings.
Recipe Tips
- Soak Time – Be careful not to over soak the Hawaiian rolls as they are softer than traditional bread. A quick dip is all that’s needed to coat them in the custard.
- Cooking Temperature – Ensure that the skillet or griddle is at a medium heat. A higher heat might cause the outside to brown too quickly, leaving the inside undercooked, especially given the richer custard mixture.
- Griddle – You can cook these in a large skillet or griddle. If you are looking at getting a new griddle check out the Best Pancake Griddles of 2024.

Serving Suggestions
French Toast is even better served with your favorite side dishes. Add a side of Fresh Fruit Salad with a side of Air Fryer Bacon. For added protein I love to make Over Hard Eggs and sausage for a hearty meal idea.
We have even served it with Protein Fruit Smoothie for a delicious combination.

Frequently Asked Questions
These sweet Hawaii Rolls French Toast are best served fresh. But if you have leftovers, store in an airtight container separate from the toppings. They will last about 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
Warm the French Toast in the microwave to reheat. We recommend to reheat in 30 second intervals.
