Ingredients
- 1 slice bread
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 slice of bread, 1 egg, 1/4 cup of milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Take the slice of bread and tear it into small pieces. Place the torn bread into a microwave-safe mug.
- In a separate bowl, crack the egg and whisk it lightly. Then add the milk, sugar, and cinnamon to the bowl, and whisk until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the torn bread in the mug, ensuring that all the bread pieces are soaked. Stir gently to combine, allowing the bread to absorb the mixture.
- Microwave the mug on high for about 1 minute. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't overflow. The bread pudding should be set and slightly puffed when done.
- While the bread pudding is cooking, prepare the browned butter vanilla sauce. In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the tablespoon of butter.
- Microwave the butter for about 30 seconds, or until it starts to foam and turn a light golden brown. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Once the butter is browned, remove it from the microwave and stir in the vanilla extract.
- After the bread pudding has finished cooking, carefully remove it from the microwave (it will be hot!). Drizzle the browned butter vanilla sauce over the top of the pudding.
- Allow the bread pudding to cool slightly before enjoying your delicious Two Minute Bread Pudding in a Mug with Browned Butter Vanilla Sauce!
Tips
- Choose the right bread: Use day-old or slightly stale bread for best texture, as it absorbs the custard mixture more effectively.
- Microwave carefully: Watch your mug closely to prevent overflow. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your microwave's wattage.
- For a richer flavor, try using brioche or challah instead of regular sandwich bread.
- Customize your pudding by adding mix-ins like chocolate chips, raisins, or chopped nuts before microwaving.
- The browned butter sauce is key—don't rush the browning process. Watch the butter carefully to achieve a golden color without burning.
- Let the pudding rest for a minute after cooking to allow the texture to set and cool slightly.
- For a more indulgent version, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
