Ingredients & Tools

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 slice of bread
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Dash of cinnamon
  • Syrup (for serving)
  • Cooking spray or butter (for the mug)

Tools

  • Large microwave-safe mug
  • Fork
  • Small bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Hot pad

Let's Cook!

  1. Set up your station
  2. Prep the mug: Spray the inside with cooking spray or rub butter around with a paper towel. This stops sticking.
  3. Crack the egg into the small bowl. Pick out any shell pieces. Beat it with a fork until the yolk and white are completely mixed — about 30 seconds of fast stirring.
  4. Mix: Add milk, sugar, and cinnamon to the egg. Beat again until combined.
  5. Add bread: Tear the bread into small cubes (about dice-sized). Put them in the mug.
  6. Pour: Pour the egg mixture over the bread. Press the bread down with the fork so it soaks up the egg.
  7. Wait 1 minute — let the bread absorb the mixture
  8. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute 30 seconds
  9. Check it: Use a hot pad to take the mug out. It should be puffed up and firm, not wet or jiggly. If still wet in the middle, microwave 15 more seconds.
  10. Let it cool for 1 minute — it's very hot inside!
  11. Drizzle with syrup and eat right out of the mug!
