French Toast Mug Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
- 1 cup thick bread (like brioche or challah), torn into pieces
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Maple syrup (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring an even flavor distribution.
- Add the bread pieces: Fold in the torn bread pieces thoroughly so that each piece is coated with the egg mixture, allowing them to soak up the flavors.
- Microwave cooking: Microwave the mug on high power for about 90 seconds. Check the doneness by inserting a toothpick or fork to ensure it is cooked through. If needed, microwave in additional 15-second increments until cooked to your preference.
- Cool and serve: Allow the mug to cool slightly for a minute or two. Drizzle with maple syrup or add fresh fruit for extra sweetness and enjoy your warm, comforting French toast.
Notes
- You can substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Use thick, sturdy bread like brioche or challah for best texture.
- Adjust microwave time based on your appliance’s wattage and your preferred texture.
- Adding fresh fruit, nuts, or a dusting of powdered sugar can enhance the flavor and presentation.
- This recipe is perfect for a quick single serving and can easily be doubled or tripled as needed.
