Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 slice Day-old bread
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- Optional toppings (e.g., chocolate chips, raisins, or whipped cream)
Instructions
Cut the slice of day-old bread into small cubes, approximately 1/2 inch in size. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe mug, crack the egg and whisk it until fully beaten.
Add the milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the egg. Whisk until the mixture is well combined.
Lightly grease the inside of the mug with the teaspoon of butter, ensuring thorough coating to prevent sticking.
Add the bread cubes to the mug, pressing them gently into the liquid mixture to ensure they soak up the custard.
If desired, sprinkle in optional toppings such as chocolate chips or raisins, mixing them evenly into the bread mixture.
Microwave the mug on high for 1 minute. Check the bread pudding; if the custard is not fully set, microwave in additional 10-second increments until cooked through (total cook time should not exceed 1 minute and 30 seconds).
Carefully remove the mug from the microwave (it will be hot). Let it cool for 1-2 minutes before enjoying.
Optionally, top with whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel or syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.
