A quick and delightful dessert made in the microwave, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Cut the bread into small cubes and place them evenly in a microwave-safe dish.
Using day-old bread helps absorb the custard mixture better.
Sprinkle the bread with cinnamon, brown sugar, and raisins.
Mix the cinnamon and sugar together before sprinkling for even distribution.
In a microwave-safe measuring cup, combine the milk and butter. Microwave on high until the butter melts and the milk is warm.
Warm milk helps dissolve the sugar and blend the flavors.
Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl, then slowly add the warm milk mixture while whisking continuously.
Adding the milk slowly prevents the eggs from curdling.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread, ensuring all pieces are soaked.
Press the bread gently with a fork to help it absorb the liquid.
Microwave on medium-high for 10 minutes, checking halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid to prevent drying out.
Let the pudding cool slightly before serving warm or chilled.
Cooling allows the pudding to set and enhances the flavor.
