These Peach Cobbler French Toast Bites combine the sweet flavors of peach cobbler with the comforting texture of French toast. Hollowed King’s Hawaiian rolls are filled with a homemade peach filling, dipped in a cinnamon-egg custard, coated with a graham cracker crust, and pan-fried until golden. Finished with a sweet vanilla glaze, these bite-sized treats make for a delightful breakfast or brunch option.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Peach Filling

  • 29 oz can peaches in heavy syrup (or 2 lbs fresh peaches, peeled and pitted), diced
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water

French Toast Bites

  • 1 pack King’s Hawaiian Original Rolls
  • 2 packs graham crackers (about 18 sheets)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and prepare workspace.
  2. Dice Peaches: Strain peaches from syrup and pat dry, then cut into small chunks.
  3. Make Peach Filling: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine peaches with brown sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until sugar melts, then bring to a low boil. Slowly drizzle in the cornstarch mixture while stirring to avoid lumps. Cook until thickened, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon until smooth.
  5. Crush Graham Crackers: Using a food processor, crush graham crackers into fine crumbs. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
  6. Make Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish, mix 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
  7. Cut Rolls: On each King’s Hawaiian roll, cut a 1 1/2 inch square hole in the top, cutting about 3/4 down the roll. Remove the bread pieces and slice off the excess from the plugs to make room for filling. Set plugs aside.
  8. Fill Rolls: Spoon peach filling into each hollowed roll and replace the tops to seal. Press the tops down gently with a fork to secure the filling inside.
  9. Heat Pan and Butter: Warm a skillet over medium-low heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
  10. Dip in Egg Mixture: Dunk each filled roll into the egg mixture, coating all sides thoroughly.
  11. Coat with Graham Crackers: Roll the coated rolls in the graham cracker crumbs, patting to adhere a crust.
  12. Pan Fry Rolls: Dip the bottom of each roll back into the egg mixture, then place directly into the skillet.
  13. Cook Until Golden: Fry rolls for about 2 minutes per side, monitoring the heat to avoid burning the butter, until they develop a golden crust.
  14. Roll in Cinnamon Sugar: Remove rolls from pan and immediately toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture while still warm.
  15. Prepare and Drizzle Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Drizzle this glaze over the French toast bites before serving warm.

Notes

  • Be careful to keep the skillet temperature medium-low to prevent burning the butter.
  • The peach filling can be made ahead and refrigerated to save time.
  • If fresh peaches are not available, canned peaches in heavy syrup work well, just drain and pat dry before using.
  • Use fresh eggs and heavy cream for the best texture in the custard mixture.
  • To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative and heavy cream with coconut cream.
