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 well combined, ensuring an even distribution of flavors and spices.
- Add the bread pieces: Fold in the torn bread pieces, carefully coating them thoroughly with the egg mixture so every piece absorbs the custard.
- Microwave cooking: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for about 90 seconds. Check for doneness, as microwave powers vary, and adjust cooking time in 10-second increments if necessary until the French toast is set but still moist.
- Cool and serve: Let the mug cool slightly before drizzling with maple syrup or adding fresh fruit toppings for extra flavor and sweetness.
Notes
- Use thick, sturdy bread like brioche or challah for best texture and flavor.
- Adjust microwave cooking time based on your appliance’s wattage.
- Optionally substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free variation.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
