Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 Hawaiian rolls, sliced horizontally
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 6 slices plant-based cheese
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or plant-based butter

Optional Garnishes and Variations

  • Fresh berries, sliced bananas, or mango for topping
  • Pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for custard spice
  • Almond or cashew butter drizzle
  • Plant-based sausage as substitute for smoked turkey bacon
  • Natural caramel sauce for drizzling
  • Chopped nuts and additional cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, plant-based milk, maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), cinnamon, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until smooth and flavorful.
  2. Prep the Hawaiian Rolls: Slice each Hawaiian roll in half horizontally for ideal thickness and arrange them ready for dipping.
  3. Dip the Rolls: Quickly dip each half of the Hawaiian roll into the custard mixture, soaking briefly to absorb flavor without becoming soggy.
  4. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon and Prepare Cheese: In a skillet, cook smoked turkey bacon until crispy and set aside. Prepare slices of plant-based cheese to ready for melting.
  5. Cook the French Toast: Heat coconut oil or plant-based butter in a pan over medium heat. Place soaked rolls on the pan, top each with a slice of plant-based cheese and a piece of smoked turkey bacon. Cook until bottoms are golden brown, then flip carefully to cook the other side and melt the cheese.
  6. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Transfer French toast to plates, drizzle with extra maple syrup (natural) if desired, and garnish with fresh fruit or nuts for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use day-old Hawaiian rolls for better custard absorption without falling apart.
  • Do not over-soak the rolls; a quick 5-10 second dip per side is ideal.
  • Cook over medium or medium-low heat to allow cheese melting and even golden browning.
  • Opt for thick-cut smoked turkey bacon for satisfying chewiness and flavor balance.
  • Customize toppings with fresh fruit or natural powdered sugar for an elevated presentation.
