From blog Pretty Prudent, the 2 Minute French Toast in a Cup is perfect for students or those with limited resources in the kitchen. Providing a "no hassle brunch for one" as [BuzzFeed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mytherabox) puts it, the microwave breakfast is great for cold winter mornings when you don't want to venture out.
