Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half horizontally
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup plant-based dairy (unsweetened almond, oat, or cashew milk recommended)
  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • Maple syrup (natural) or honey, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, plant-based dairy, vanilla extract (natural), apple cider vinegar, cinnamon (natural), and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. This custard-like batter will soak into the Hawaiian rolls, giving them a rich, creamy texture.
  2. Prep the Hawaiian Rolls and Smoked Turkey Bacon: Slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally to create thick slices ideal for soaking. In a pan, cook the smoked turkey bacon until crispy yet tender, then set aside. The smoky bacon will add a savory contrast to the sweetness of the rolls.
  3. Soak the Rolls: Dip each slice of Hawaiian roll generously into the prepared batter, allowing it to soak for a few seconds but not so long that it falls apart. This ensures the bread absorbs the creamy custard mixture for a soft, fluffy texture.
  4. Cook the French Toast: Heat the plant-based butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the soaked rolls onto the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown, slightly crisp exterior while remaining tender inside.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Arrange the cooked French toast slices on a plate, top with crispy smoked turkey bacon, and drizzle generously with maple syrup (natural) or honey. Optionally, add fresh fruits like berries or a sprinkle of nuts for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh Hawaiian rolls that are slightly firm to prevent sogginess.
  • Ensure thorough soaking of the rolls for a melt-in-your-mouth custard effect.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while achieving an even golden crust.
  • Apply plant-based butter generously to the skillet for a crisp and golden finish.
  • Serve immediately for best flavor and texture, while the French toast is warm and fresh.
