Steps to Make It
Gather the Ingredients:

Prepare the Milk Mixture:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Soak the Bread:

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.
