Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture:
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1–2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 slice thick bread, cut into small cubes
- 1 teaspoon butter
- Optional: maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for serving
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large microwave-safe mug, whisk together egg, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar if using.
- Soak Bread: Stir in bread cubes, pressing gently to soak up the egg mixture. Dot with butter pieces.
- Microwave: Microwave on high for 1 minute, then check; continue cooking in 15-second intervals until bread is set but still soft, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total.
- Serve: Let cool slightly before serving with syrup, powdered sugar, or fruit.
Notes
- Stale bread works best as it absorbs the egg mixture without becoming mushy.
- For a richer version, use half-and-half instead of milk and brioche or challah bread.
- Cooking time may vary based on microwave wattage.
