How to Make Hamburger Hotdog Bun French Toast

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until light and frothy.
  2. Dip each hamburger and hotdog bun into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated.
  3. Lightly spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles on contact.
  4. Place the soaked buns in the preheated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
  5. Serve immediately, warm, and topped with your favorite syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, or fruit.
  6. (Optional) For make-ahead convenience, place cooked bun french toast between sheets of wax paper and freeze in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in a toaster oven or conventional oven until warmed through.
