• 1 cup cubed brioche bread
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Steps to Make It

1. Gather the Ingredients:

   • Ensure all ingredients are prepared and measured.

2. Prepare the Milk Mixture:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

3. Soak the Bread:

   • Toss the cubed brioche bread in the milk mixture, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Let it soak for 1 minute.

4. Fill the Mug:

   • Spoon the soaked bread mixture into a 12-ounce mug. Discard any remaining liquid in the bowl.

5. Microwave:

   • Microwave the mug on high for 2 minutes, or until the French toast is set and cooked through.

Tips

• Soaking Time: Firmer, crustier breads might need to soak longer than lighter breads like brioche.
• Safety: Use care when taking the mug out of the microwave. Since microwave strengths vary and the mug can become very hot, it is recommended to use oven mitts or a thick kitchen towel to protect your hands.
