Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 6 Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half horizontally
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (natural)
  • 1 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Protein

  • 8 slices smoked turkey bacon

Cooking and Toppings

  • 2 tbsp plant-based butter
  • Maple syrup (natural), for drizzling
  • Natural gelling agent, optional for fruit compote

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Custard: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, plant-based milk, vanilla extract (natural), cinnamon (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until smooth and fragrant. This custard will soak into the Hawaiian rolls, blending all the flavors beautifully.
  2. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the smoked turkey bacon until crisp and golden. Remove the bacon and set aside on paper towels to drain any excess fat.
  3. Soak the Hawaiian Rolls: Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Dip each half into the custard mixture, allowing the bread to absorb the liquid without becoming overly saturated.
  4. Cook the French Toast: Heat plant-based butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the custard-soaked roll halves cut-side down first in the skillet. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from heat once both sides are perfectly browned.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Layer the cooked smoked turkey bacon inside the roll halves or serve on the side. Drizzle with natural maple syrup or top with a homemade fruit compote prepared using a natural gelling agent for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Let the Hawaiian rolls soak in the custard just enough to absorb flavor without becoming soggy.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the inside cooks through.
  • Use fresh Hawaiian rolls for the best texture and sweetness.
  • Enhance flavors with a natural gelling agent fruit compote instead of store-bought syrups.
  • Cook turkey bacon last if you want it warm and crispy on top when serving.
