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)

Directions

Step 1

Split the hot dog buns in half lengthwise if they are not pre-split, but do not separate the halves completely.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until combined.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, swirling to coat the surface.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining buns, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked buns to serving plates and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Drizzle with maple syrup and top with fresh fruit, if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy your French Toasted Hot Dog Buns as a fun and delicious breakfast option!
