Quick Breakfast

If there's one thing that makes me more like my dad than my mom, it's breakfast. My mom could care less for breakfast food, she'll even order a BLT sandwich for breakfast when they go out sometimes on Sundays to Linda's Wilmot Cafe*. Which doesn't technically serve lunch on Sundays, but they make an exception for her :)

Now my dad on the other hand LOVES breakfast food and so do I. Anything, eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage you name it, we like it. I especially like French Toast, so when I came across a recipe for 2-minute French toast in a cup I had to try it!

What you need:
Microwave save mug. I used my over-sized one to make it easy, plus it's so darn cute!
Butter
2 slices of bread
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
sprinkle of cinnamon
drop of vanilla extract (optional)
 Powdered sugar and/or syrup for topping

Coat the inside of the mug with butter. Cut up your slices of bread into cubes and place in mug. I ended up using 3 slices cause I had really thin bread and the cup was so big. In a separate small bowl, crack your egg, add milk, cinnamon and vanilla and whisk well. Pour over bread, let soak up for a moment and then cook in microwave for just 2 minutes. Top with powder sugar and syrup.

It tasted really good! I wish I had a better dense bread rather than just the cheap generic white bread. The thick Texas style bread would probably be great for this recipe.



*If you live anywhere near Wilmot, you must try Linda's Wilmot Cafe. It's a really nice country diner with great food and a fun eclectic decor.
