Ingredients
- 1 slice Bread (preferably day-old or slightly stale)
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 teaspoons Sugar (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Unsalted butter
- 1 to taste Maple syrup or powdered sugar (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Lightly grease a microwave-safe mug or small bowl with the unsalted butter.
Step 2
Cut the bread into small cubes (approximately 1-inch pieces) and place them into the mug or bowl.
Step 3
In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon (if using), and sugar (if using) until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes in the mug, pressing the bread down gently with a fork or spoon to ensure it soaks up the mixture evenly.
Step 5
Let the mixture sit for about 1 minute to allow the bread to absorb the liquid completely.
Step 6
Microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the French toast is puffed up and set in the center. Cooking times may vary based on your microwave's power.
Step 7
Carefully remove the mug or bowl from the microwave (it will be hot!) and let it cool for about 1 minute before serving.
Step 8
Serve with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar on top, and enjoy your quick and delicious Microwave French Toast!
