Ingredients

Scale

For the French Toast Custard

  • 6 Hawaiian rolls, sliced horizontally
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

For Cooking and Serving

  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Extra maple syrup (natural) for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a wide bowl, whisk together the eggs, plant-based milk, pure vanilla extract (natural), ground cinnamon (natural), maple syrup (natural), and natural gelling agent until smooth and well combined to form a creamy custard.
  2. Dip the Hawaiian Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Gently dip each cut side into the custard mixture, allowing them to soak for about 20 to 30 seconds without becoming soggy. Let any excess custard drip off before cooking.
  3. Cook the French Toast: Heat the plant-based butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the soaked rolls on the skillet and cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown and caramelized.
  4. Prepare the Smoked Turkey Bacon: While the French toast cooks, fry the smoked turkey bacon in a separate pan. Add a splash of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to the bacon for a flavorful glaze. Cook until crispy and heated through.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Stack the cooked Hawaiian Roll French Toast slices on a serving plate, top with the crispy smoked turkey bacon, and drizzle with extra maple syrup (natural) or your favorite fruit compote.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale Hawaiian rolls as they absorb custard better and hold their shape.
  • Do not oversoak the rolls; 20 to 30 seconds is ideal for maximum flavor without sogginess.
  • Cook on medium heat to achieve a crispy exterior without burning.
  • Use the natural gelling agent as instructed to maintain perfect custard texture and avoid clumping.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of crispy outside and soft inside.
