Hawaiian French Toast
New Year's Day breakfast had to be something special! I took a little of Kings Hawaiian French Toast recipe and my recipe for Brioche French Toast to create this delightful mouthful to celebrate the new year! It just may be a new tradition!

Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 c milk or half and half
- 2 T orange juice
- 1 t vanilla
- 1 T sugar
- 1/2 t cinnamon
- 1/4 t nutmeg
- 1/16 t cloves
- 1 t orange zest
- 2 T butter, melted and cooled
Instructions
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, orange juice and vanilla.
- Combine the sugar with the spices and orange zest in a small bowl. Whisk it into the egg mixture. Place it in a dish wide enough for dipping in a strip of 3 rolls; a pie plate should work well.
- Melt the butter and allow it to cool.
- Warm the egg/sugar/spice mix for about 20-25 seconds in the microwave. This is just to avoid the cooled butter from solidifying once combined into a cool mixture.
- Take the 12 rolls out of the package in one piece. Do not separate! Slice horizontally halfway through the rolls.
- Whisk in butter mixture until well combined.
- Break off 3 rolls, intact, and dip both sides into mixture. Do not soak them!
- Place them on a pre-heated griddle (325 degrees F) prepped with a thin coating of coconut oil. I use a folded paper towel to wipe the griddle. If you prefer, you could use more butter, but this works well.
- Flip the 3 intact rolls once bottoms are golden and cook the other side.
- Serve with a sprinkle of confectioner's sugar, a small scoop of butter or syrup of your choice.
