Ingredients

Units Scale
  • French Toast Bites:

    • 1 pack King’s Hawaiian Original Rolls
    • 2 packs graham crackers (about 18 sheets)
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
    • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • Cream/Egg Mixture:

    • 2 eggs
    • 2/3 cup heavy cream
    • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Peach Cobbler Filling:

    • 1 (29 oz) can peaches in heavy syrup (or 2 lbs. fresh peaches, peeled and pitted)
    • 1/3 cup brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (mixed with 2 teaspoons water)
  • Buttery Glaze (Optional):

    • 1/4 cup melted butter
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 2 tablespoons milk
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the Peach Filling:

    • Strain and pat dry canned peaches, then dice into small chunks.
    • In a saucepan over medium-low heat, add peaches, brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until sugar melts and mixture begins to simmer.
    • Stir in cornstarch slurry and continue stirring to prevent clumping. Simmer until thickened, then set aside to cool.
  • Prepare the Coating:

    • Crush graham crackers in a food processor and place in a small bowl.
    • In a shallow dish, mix ¼ cup sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
  • Prepare the Rolls:

    • Cut a 1½-inch square hole in the top of each Hawaiian roll, cutting ¾ of the way down.
    • Remove the bread plug, slice off excess bread from the plug, and set it aside.
    • Fill each hole with a spoonful of peach cobbler filling, then press the bread plug back on top to seal. Use a fork to lightly tamp down the tops.
  • Dip and Cook:

    • Whisk together the cream/egg mixture in a large bowl.
    • Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
    • Dunk each stuffed roll in the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated. Then roll in the graham cracker crumbs, pressing to create a crust.
    • Dip the bottom of each roll back into the egg mixture before placing it in the skillet.
    • Cook for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown, adjusting the heat to prevent burning.
  • Coat and Serve:

    • Immediately toss warm French toast bites in cinnamon sugar.
    • If using, prepare the buttery glaze by whisking together melted butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
    • Drizzle glaze over the bites and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a crispier texture, bake the coated rolls at 350°F for 5 minutes after pan-frying.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a dessert-style twist.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
