Microwave French toast.
 

This recipe was in the Reader's Digest and we tried it this morning and it was really good. Fast and easy is my middle name, wait that doesn't sound right. Enjoy!

Rub a pat of butter on the bottom of a mug; fill it to the top with chopped bread (I used cinnamon/raisin bread).

In a separate mug mix one egg, three tablespoons of milk, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Pour the mixture into the mug and microwave for one minute.

Super quick for days when you want to get back to your quilting and not be left with dishes and pans to wash.

Hmm...sounds yummy! Thanks~

Sounds delicious!

I will try this for my grandsons who love French Toast but I don't always have the time to clean up the mess it makes before taking them to preschool. I have them three days a week and I need some fast and easy ways to make a good breakfast that doesn't come from a package or freezer. I make homemade cinnamon bread so this will be perfect for the leftovers pieces.

Breakfast in a tortilla is a way to go....scrambled eggs, crumbled sausage or bacon (can be cooked beforehand), shredded cheese, fried or hashbrowned potatoes, even leftover pot roast or chicken.
Or make it a fruit-filled one topped with some whipped cream or sweetened sour cream (with brown sugar).

My niece suggested adding a touch of vanilla to this and it suddenly becomes instant bread pudding.

Can't wait to try this.

Roberta, you are funny! Thanks for the recipe and laugh (a bonus!)

Now you have two mugs to wash. I would find a way to wash only one! ! !

Put the egg, milk and such into the buttered mug, beat it up and fill the cup with the bread pieces. Let it sit for a while and the bread will absorb the egg mixture. Stir a little and then cook it. I'm always trying to find ways to make fewer dirty dishes.

Or you could fix the French toast in non-stick skillet. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, cut in half or make a whole sandwich with couple slices of bacon. Paper towel to hold the sandwich. Only one skillet to quickly (1 1/2minutes ) to wipe clean. Your DGKs will think you're the greatest!!

I've been making my scrambled eggs in the microwave lately and really love them.

2 eggs
Dash of milk
Beat together in a 2 cup measuring cup. Microwave for 1 minute on full power. Stir thoroughly. Microwave for 1 more minute on full power. Done!

OH!! I would LOVE your recipe for homemade cinnamon bread. Can you share?

Wow, just made this...and I'm hooked, made it all in one cereal bow. But I think in my microwave I'll cook it just a tad longer. But this is going to be something I'm going to tell me kids about. I know my grandchildren will love it.

Some things just sound goofy, but are as plain as day. I read this and took me awhile to get the image out of my head, but I really did know what you meant. Rub a pat of butter on the INSIDE bottom of a mug. LOL

Thanks for the recipe, had never tried this before. Sounds like a great camping recipe too.

sounds like bread pudding, but sounds good.

I tried this and loved it, but I used just regular bread. I decided to try it with raisin bread, bought a loaf and before I could use it for the French toast, it got all eaten. Darn! Next time I will have to either hide the bread or freeze it. LOL!

That's my plan as well!

Yes, I keep my raisin bread in the freezer. It thaws out very quickly 1 slice at a time.
