Key Ingredients
This French Toast Sandwich recipe uses simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, but it packs a flavor punch that’s perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Hawaiian Rolls: A 24-pack of sweet Hawaiian rolls, perfect for making large or slider-sized sandwiches.
Eggs: Used both in the French toast batter and for scrambling to create fluffy eggs for the sandwich.
Cream: Adds richness to both the scrambled eggs and the French toast batter.
Cinnamon Sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness and classic cinnamon flavor to the French toast.
Bacon: Cooked to crispy perfection, the ideal protein for your sandwich.
Cheese: Cheddar or American cheese slices melt perfectly, but feel free to use your favorite variety.
Hot Sauce: A few splashes add a bit of heat to the eggs.
Butter: Used in the skillet to cook both the eggs and French toast.
How to Make French Toast Sandwiches
1. Prepare the French Toast Batter
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, cream, cinnamon, and sugar until smooth. This will be the base for your French toast.
2. Cook the Scrambled Eggs
In a large skillet over low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Pour in the egg mixture (with a bit of hot sauce for some kick!) and cook slowly until the eggs are just set but still shiny. Top with cheese slices and set aside.
3. Cook the French Toast
In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-low and add more butter. Dunk the Hawaiian rolls (already cut in half) into the batter, ensuring both sides are well coated. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown and toasted.
4. Assemble the Sandwich
Layer the bottom half of the Hawaiian rolls with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and top with the other half of the French toast rolls. Serve with a side of syrup for dipping if desired.
How to Freeze and Reheat
These French Toast Sandwiches are perfect for meal prepping. To freeze:
After preparing and assembling the sandwiches, allow them to cool for about 15 minutes.
Wrap each sandwich individually in parchment paper or cling wrap.
Place wrapped sandwiches in a zip-top or vacuum-sealed bag and freeze.
To Reheat:Simply remove a sandwich from the freezer, unwrap it, and microwave on 50% power or defrost mode for 1 minute. Flip the sandwich and microwave at full power for 20 seconds, or until warmed through and the cheese is melted.
