Ingredients

• 6 cups Day-old bread (cubed)
• 2 cups Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 0.5 cups Raisins (optional)
• 0.25 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Bourbon
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Grease a microwave-safe 8x8-inch dish or large bowl with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread and milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes so the bread absorbs the liquid.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and melted butter. If using raisins, fold them into this mixture.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture over the soaked bread and gently mix until combined. Transfer the mixture to the prepared microwave-safe dish.

Step 5

Microwave on high for 10-12 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave.

Step 6

While the bread pudding is cooking, prepare the bourbon sauce. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the powdered sugar, bourbon, heavy cream, and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened (about 1 minute total).

Step 7

Once the bread pudding is done, let it cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the warm bourbon sauce over the top.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy your decadent microwave-baked bread pudding with bourbon sauce!
