Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup thick bread (like brioche or challah), torn into pieces
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Toppings
- Maple syrup (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Bread Pieces: Fold in the torn bread pieces, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated with the egg mixture for even flavor and texture.
- Microwave Cooking: Microwave the mug on high power for about 90 seconds. Check for doneness by ensuring the egg is fully set and the bread is soft yet firm. Adjust the cooking time slightly if needed depending on your microwave’s power.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the French toast mug to cool slightly before drizzling with maple syrup or adding fresh fruit for desired sweetness and extra flavor.
Notes
- Use thick, sturdy bread like brioche or challah to prevent sogginess.
- You can substitute whole milk with plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust microwave time depending on your wattage; start with 90 seconds and add 15-second increments if necessary.
- Feel free to add fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar as additional toppings.
- This recipe is ideal for a quick single-serving breakfast or snack with minimal cleanup.
