Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 8 Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half horizontally
  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter (plant-based) for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the custard mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, plant-based milk, maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), cinnamon (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and natural gelling agent until smooth and well combined. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to deepen the flavors.
  2. Cook the smoked turkey bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the smoked turkey bacon until crispy and fragrant. Remove the bacon from the pan and place on paper towels to drain excess grease while keeping warm.
  3. Soak the Hawaiian rolls: Quickly dip each halved Hawaiian roll into the custard mixture, coating both sides thoroughly but avoiding oversaturation to maintain fluffiness.
  4. Cook the French toast: Heat plant-based butter in the skillet over medium heat. Place the dipped Hawaiian rolls into the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown with slightly crisp edges.
  5. Assemble and serve: Arrange the French toast slices on plates, top with crispy smoked turkey bacon, drizzle with extra maple syrup (natural) if desired, and enjoy immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh Hawaiian rolls for optimal texture and flavor absorption.
  • Do not over-soak the rolls to prevent sogginess; quick dips work best.
  • Cook over medium heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
  • Allow the custard to rest before soaking the rolls to enhance flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of maple syrup (natural) in the custard.
