Nothing says vacation more than Hawaii.  And for breakfast lovers, nothing says French Toast like sweet and buttery King's Hawaiian bread.  This recipe will awaken you to the flavors of the islands with an extra special morning treat.

King’s Hawaiian Pineapple Upside Down French Toast Recipe

Ingredients
  • 4 slices King’s Hawaiian Original Sweet Round Bread,1 ½-2 inches thick
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 cup Half & Half
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 tbs Rum (optional)
  • ½ cup dark brown sugar
  • Slices of canned pineapple rings
  • Pinch of Salt
  • Shredded Coconut for Garnish

Directions 
  1. In a 9×13″ baking pan spread the brown sugar across the bottom. Place slices of pineapple on top of the brown sugar. Layer the sliced bread into the bottom of the pan in one layer squeezing them slightly to make them fit. Set aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half & half, vanilla, rum, and salt. Pour over the bread. Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight, or a minimum of eight hours until the liquid is absorbed into the bread.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove pan from refrigerator and uncover. Place in the oven and bake for 35-40 until golden brown. Let stand a few minutes, loosen the edges with a knife that has been run around the edge of the pan. Invert into a serving platter and sprinkle with shredded coconut. Serve while hot.
