A quick and easy mug French toast recipe that delivers a warm, fluffy, and comforting breakfast in just five minutes, perfect for busy mornings or last-minute brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 slice of bread (preferably day-old or slightly stale; white, whole wheat, or brioche)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 3 tablespoons milk (whole milk recommended; almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (white or brown sugar; maple syrup can be used instead)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or non-stick spray (to grease the mug)
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, maple syrup, powdered sugar, or a dollop of yogurt

Instructions

  1. Grease your mug lightly with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Tear the slice of bread into small, bite-sized pieces and place them into the mug.
  3. In a small bowl or directly in the mug, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, sugar, and salt until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread pieces in the mug. Gently press down with a fork to coat all bread pieces. Let it sit for about 1 minute to absorb the liquid.
  5. Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Check the texture; if needed, microwave in 15-second bursts until puffed and slightly firm but moist. Avoid overcooking.
  6. Let the mug French toast cool for 1-2 minutes to set. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, maple syrup, or powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Use day-old or slightly stale bread for best texture. Adjust microwave time based on wattage. Let the bread soak the custard for about 1 minute before cooking to ensure fluffiness. For oven cooking, bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes. Experiment with spices and toppings for variety.
