Hawaiian Bread French Toast
Now that Christmas is less than a week away, I need to get my game together for my pre-holiday North Pole Breakfast. I mentioned in an earlier post that I was preparing a special breakfast for my family with the main attraction being a treat made with KING’S HAWAIIAN Sweet Round Bread from Walmart.
We love KING’S HAWAIIAN products and serve them at most family functions, but the sweet bread is usually accompanied with savory dishes. That all changed when I found an amazing recipe on KingsHawaiian.com for King’s Hawaiian French Toast. Even though our breakfast is still a few days away, I had to make a batch to taste test — you know, just to be sure 😉
Imagine, soft and slightly sweet KING’S HAWAIIAN bread, lightly battered and pan-fried to golden perfection. The result is quite possibly THE BEST French Toast I’ve ever had, and now that my family has had it too, we all agree it’s a keeper and it will definitely be making a re-appearance at our North Pole Breakfast next week. Here’s the amazing recipe:
King’s Hawaiian Bread French Toast Recipe
Hawaiian Bread French Toast Ingredients
- 1 KING’S HAWAIIAN Sweet Round Bread
- 4 Large eggs
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil for frying
- Powdered sugar (optional)
- Maple syrup (optional)
How to Make Hawaiian Bread French Toast
1. Slice King’s Hawaiian bread crosswise so that each slice is about 1-inch thick. Cut larger slices into halves or thirds, if desired. Set aside.
2. In a shallow mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix occasionally to ensure it’s well-blended.
3. Quickly dip slices (do not soak) in the egg mixture and cook in a frying pan until golden brown on both sides.
4. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with warm coconut or maple syrup.
What surprised me the most about this recipe was how easy it was to prepare. I don’t make French Toast very often because, in my mind, it seems complicated and messy. Cutting up KING’S HAWAIIAN Sweet Round Bread was super easy with a bread knife. The slices were quite large, so I just cut them in half again, creating more manageable pieces.
I also enjoyed how there wasn’t any added sugar in the recipe, other than the powdered sugar that is sprinkled after cooking, which is entirely optional. I like my breakfast items sweet, but not too sweet— and King’s Hawaiian French Toast is precisely that.
I ate my French Toast with a little butter while my husband and daughter added a hint of maple syrup. I’d imagine jam made with fresh pineapple would be divine as well!

I’m so happy that I ventured into the sweet side with King’s Hawaiian bread. Now that I know it’s an excellent base for both sweet and savory dishes, I will be using it for every family function. KING’S HAWAIIAN is, by far, my family’s favorite bread.
