Directions

Step 1: Prep the rolls

Begin by slicing your King’s Hawaiian Rolls into even thirds and toasting them in the oven at 300°F for three to five minutes.

Step 2: Create the batter

Make the French toast batter by mixing together your eggs, eggnog, vanilla extract and ground nutmeg in a bowl.

Step 3: Fry the toast

Next, create your French toast bites. Take each of your toasted roll slices and dip them thoroughly in the French toast batter until fully coated. In a griddle or frying pan with butter, fry each slice evenly on both sides. Repeat process until each slice has been dipped and fried.

Step 4: Dip the bites in cinnamon sugar

Combine your sugar, ground cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl. Dip each French toast bite in the cinnamon sugar mix and coat thoroughly. Repeat the process until each slice is coated.

Step 5: Serve with maple syrup

Gather your French toast bites together and serve with an optional side of maple syrup or sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar. Serve with a delicious cup of eggnog coffee and enjoy!
