Why Mug French Toast?

Ingredients:

• Bread: 1 slice (slightly stale)
• Egg: 1
• Milk: 3 tablespoons
• Vanilla Extract: 1/4 teaspoon
• Ground Cinnamon: 1/4 teaspoon
• Maple Syrup or Powdered Sugar: for serving (optional)
• Fruit: A handful of blueberries, bananas, or strawberries (optional)

Instructions:

1. Tear Bread: Tear the slice of bread into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe mug.
2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon (if using).
3. Soak Bread: Pour the egg mixture over the torn bread in the mug, ensuring all the bread is soaked in the mixture.
4. Let Sit: Allow the mixture to sit for a minute or two to let the bread absorb the liquid.
5. Microwave: Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes, checking after 1 minute and continuing in 30-second intervals until the French toast is cooked through and set.
6. Let Cool: Carefully remove the mug from the microwave and let it cool for a minute before serving.
7. Serve: Enjoy your Mug French Toast with maple syrup or powdered sugar, if desired.

If you want a crispy French toast then cook in the microwave but finish up following these tips:

1. Toast the Bread First: If you have time, lightly toast the bread before tearing it into pieces and soaking it in the egg mixture. This initial toasting can help give it a bit more crispness.
2. Use Less Milk: Using less milk in the egg mixture can result in a drier French toast, which may crisp up a bit more in the microwave.
3. Finish in a Skillet: After microwaving, you can transfer the cooked French toast to a skillet for a quick sear on each side to add some crispiness.
4. Broil in the Oven: If you have access to an oven, you can transfer the cooked French toast to a baking sheet and broil it for a couple of minutes to add crispness to the top.

Tips for Success:

• Monitor Cooking Time: Microwave wattages vary, so adjust the cooking time accordingly to ensure the French toast is cooked through but not overcooked.
• Customize Your French Toast: Feel free to customize your French toast by adding toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or a dollop of yogurt.
• Add fruit: Add blueberries, bananas, or strawberries for a delicious burst of freshness and a pop of color to your Mug French Toast!
• Experiment with Flavors: Get creative with your French toast by experimenting with different flavorings such as almond extract, nutmeg, or orange zest.
