In-a-mug recipes are all the rage and I'm sure you've all tried Hannah's chocolate cake in a mug (it's good too), but this French Toast in a Mug is to die for. Of course it helps that we all love French toast, either sweet with syrup or savoury with baked beans, so when I came across a recipe for it I had to try it. It was OK, but now I've tweaked it to suit our tastes it is perfect.

French Toast in a Mug
Ingredients:
2 slices toast bread or 3 slices sandwich bread
1 egg
1/4 cup cream
1 tsp MOO pancake syrup
1/2 tsp MOO vanilla extract

Method:
Cut the bread into 1cm cubes. Beat the egg, cream, MOO pancake syrup and MOO vanilla extract together with a fork until well combined in a large microwave safe coffee mug. Add the bread cubes to the mug, gently pushing them down to soak up the egg mixture. Cook on HIGH for 1 minute, then in 10 second bursts until the custard is set.  In my microwave the total cooking time is 1 minute 30 seconds - time will vary depending on the power of your microwave.

Drizzle with extra syrup and enjoy.

We love French toast for breakfast, lunch or tea depending on what we have with it and it is such a good way of using up stale bread too that I think this will very quickly become a favourite in our house, especially when there's only a fork and a mug to wash up!
