Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but too often students are forced to go without a fulfilling breakfast. Luckily there is one treat that is quick, warm, filling and can be made with items you probably already have on hand. This French toast recipe can be made in mere minutes with only a mug and a microwave — perfect for students living in a residence hall.

Ingredients:

1-2 pieces of sliced bread

Butter

1 egg

3 tablespoons milk

Optional:

Cinnamon

Vanilla extract

Syrup

Instructions:

Take the bread and cut into cubes. Any type of bread will do. I used the wheat bread I happened to have on hand.

Butter the inside of a mug and pile the bread in it.

In a separate cup add the egg and the milk. You can add in a dash of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla for flavor here. Stir the liquid mixture with a fork.

Pour the mixture over the bread. Let it sit for a moment so it can soak.

Put your mug in the microwave for one minute. If you need to cook it for longer, do so in increments of 10 seconds.

Apply syrup and enjoy!
