Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Bread (preferably slightly stale)
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Raisins (optional)
Instructions
Cut the bread into small, bite-sized cubes and place them into a microwave-safe mug or ramekin.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Pour the milk mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly soaked. If adding raisins, sprinkle them evenly over the top.
Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Dot the top with butter for added richness.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1.5 to 2 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is slightly puffed. Cooking times may vary based on your microwave's wattage.
Carefully remove the mug or ramekin from the microwave and let it cool for a minute.
Serve warm as is, or top with a drizzle of cream, caramel sauce, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.
