Made with surprisingly easy to find Hawaiian Sweet bread (or make it in a bread machine), this recipe puts a new twist on French toast. Serve right away with warm syrup. Can be garnished with coconut.

Hawaiian French Toast

eggs, separated

vanilla extract

orange zest

rum flavored extract

water

honey

(1 pound) loaf Hawaiian sweet bread, thickly sliced

(8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, with juice

maple syrup

In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg yolks, egg white, vanilla, rum extract, orange zest, water and 1 tablespoon honey.


Coat bread slices in egg mixture; set aside.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Fry bread slices until brown on both sides. Serve hot with warm fruit sauce.


Tasty! I gave this recipe a try today, and loved it! I did not have any Hawaiian sweet bread, so I used Texas Toast instead, and it still came out great! I love the hint of rum flavor with the orange. I also did not make the sauce, but simply ate it with a sprinkling of sugar. Great, but will have to get everything that I need for the sauce and try that next time.

I have used hawaiian bread for years as a french toast base. I like this recipe but I like a little simpler. I do the basic base of whole eggs, milk, vanilla, etc. and have found that the french vanilla creamer I use in my coffee makes an excellent addition to the batch. I also skip the fruit and everyone loves it!

YUM YUM & YUM again!! This is an awesome alternative to the super heavy french toast I'm used to. It will be a perfect summer breakfast out by the pool!! I think I definetly have to add toasted coconut on top next time and may experiment with the syrup...but this is just great! Thank you!:)

Yum! I didn't have rum extract, and I only used maple syrup instead of the fruit sauce, but the honey really made a big difference in this recipe.

This was really good. Don't skip the rum extract - it really adds to the flavor. I didn't have enough egg mixture to use the whole loaf of Hawaiian bread but since I was feeding two people it worked out better anyway. The fruit topping is easy and quite tasty although you had better be in the mood for something sweet - whew! I accidentally added 1 teaspoon of orange rind to the sauce but it just made it even fruitier. All in all a delicious meal that thoroughly satisfies your sweet tooth.

Yummy! This was delicious!!!! Very moist and flavorful. I didn't have the rum extract so I used 1 tsp coconut rum instead and it still came out great=)

The stores around here don't carry Hawaiian bread and I didn't have time to make it so I used Portuguese sweet bread. Everyone enjoyed this and I will make again. I topped it off with coconut syrup from this site.

I didn't have any Hawaiian bread I used Italian bread. I wasn't so crazy about the syrup regular syrup would have been better. I also agree with another reviewer pineapple chunks would be better than crushed pineapple. I toasted sliced almonds and topped the toast with them while cooking so that they would adhere to the toast. I also sprinkled with some shredded coconut lastly. I feel that adding a bit of coconut extract to the egg mixture would have been better. Because I wanted a truly "tropical" tasting french toast I topped the finished toast with a few slices of banana before serving. On the side a few slices of mango to seal the deal! All of the elements were there yet somehow it just didn't "wow" me. Maybe it was the bread? I feel my version needs a bit more tweaking to make it the tropical french toast I was looking for when I searched for this recipe. Yet the base of this recipe is lacking.

this is good not awesome but different. Its a nice change from the ordinary
