Step-by-Step Instructions for Hawaiian Roll French Toast

In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Optionally, add a pinch of cinnamon.
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in halves or quarters. Dip each piece into the egg mixture for about 30 seconds.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, around 350°F, for a couple of minutes until hot.
Melt butter in the skillet, then add the soaked rolls, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
Transfer the cooked rolls to a serving plate, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with syrup, and add fresh fruits if desired.
