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)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the bread into small, bite-sized cubes and place them into a microwave-safe mug or ramekin.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the milk mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly soaked. If adding raisins, sprinkle them evenly over the top.

Step 4

Let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.

Step 5

Dot the top with butter for added richness.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Carefully remove the mug or ramekin from the microwave and let it cool for a minute.

Step 8

Serve warm as is, or top with a drizzle of cream, caramel sauce, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.
