Hawaiian Sweet Bread French Toast

One thing that I kept seeing on Breakfast menus while in Maui was Hawaiian Sweet Bread French Toast. So since we had a kitchen at the house we were staying at my Aunt and I tried it ourselves and it turned out great!

Hawaiian Sweet Bread French Toast

• 1 loaf Hawaiian Sweet Bread
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2easpoon vanilla
• 1/8teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
• Salad oil or butter

Directions: Slice bread crosswise so that each slice is about 1 1/2" thick. Cut each slice into thirds, if desired. Combine remaining ingredients, except oil. Quickly dip slices (do not soak) in egg mixtures and cook on hot oiled griddle until golden brown on both sides. Keep egg mixture stirred and spices well blended. For a delicate orange flavor, add the grated peel of one orange to egg mixture.

Makes 6 servings.
