Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Hawaiian Roll French Toast Casserole that is perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls, cut into cubes
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Place the cubed Hawaiian rolls in the prepared baking dish, spreading them evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- If using, sprinkle the crushed pineapple and shredded coconut over the bread cubes.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Gently press down with a spatula to help the bread absorb the mixture.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
- Bake covered for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the bread mixture before baking.
- Substitute almond milk for a dairy-free version, and use a dairy-free cream alternative.
