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
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined to ensure even flavor throughout.
- Add Bread Pieces: Fold the torn bread pieces into the egg mixture, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated for maximum custard absorption.
- Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mug on high power for about 90 seconds. Check the doneness and add extra time in small increments if necessary until the French toast is cooked through and fluffy.
- Serve and Garnish: Let the mug cool slightly before drizzling with maple syrup or adding fresh fruit toppings as desired for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use thick bread like brioche or challah for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust microwave time depending on your appliance’s wattage; start with 90 seconds and add more if needed.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk.
- Optional toppings such as fresh berries, powdered sugar, or nuts can enhance the dish.
- Be careful when handling the mug as it can become hot after microwaving.
