French Toast in a Mug

Well its another rainy almost winter day here and once again I have a crazy toddler running around the house.   So today is a day I whip out another one of my 'fun things to do when your toddler is driving you crazy' activities. I found today's activity a few months ago on this fantastic blog and we all fell in love with it.

French Toast in a Mug

All you need for this recipe is:

2 mugs
2 slices of bread, cubed
1 egg
3 tablespoons of milk
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of sugar
A small dash of vanilla
2 small cubes of butter

All those ingredient are stables in our fridge and pantry so this gets eaten a fair bit.  It is such a lovely treat on a cold night.

Place a butter cube in each mug and zap in the microwave till it is melted. Once melted give it a good swish around the mug.  Place half of the bread cubes in each mug.  The bread can be anything that you have on hand.  I had just made some dinner rolls and a few of them were a little browner then I would like so I used them for this.

Crack the egg in a bowl and mix it together with the milk,sugar,cinnamon and vanilla.  Push the bread down with the back of a spoon so that it soaks up as much of the egg mixture as possible.

 Zap 1 mug at a time in the microwave for 1 minute. Then in 10 second bursts till there is no more runny egg. 

Give it a drizzle of honey and dig in.

So easy and SO yummy.    It is a huge hit with the little Monkey.
