Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Hot dog buns
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cups Maple syrup
- 1 cup Fresh fruit (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Split the hot dog buns in half lengthwise if they are not pre-split, but do not separate the halves completely.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, swirling to coat the surface.
Dip each hot dog bun half into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not soaked to the point of breaking apart.
Place the dipped buns on the heated skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp.
Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining buns, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.
Transfer the cooked buns to serving plates and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Drizzle with maple syrup and top with fresh fruit, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your French Toasted Hot Dog Buns as a fun and delicious breakfast option!
