Bread Pudding in the Microwave

I have no idea where I got this recipe, but it is handwritten in a small book where I saved recipes back in the mid-80s. I haven't made this in ages, but I do recall I used to make it a lot. I think I will make it again today! 
Ordinary sandwich bread works fine, or use a spiffier bread to make a spiffier pudding. Serve with a vanilla custard sauce, whipped cream, or even ice cream.
SERVES 6
Ingredients
- 4 cups lightly packed bread, cut in cubes (about 4 or 5 slices of bread)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 2 cups milk (not skim)
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Directions
1
Spread bread cubes evenly in an 8-inch round glass pan.2
Sprinkle with the sugar, salt, and raisins.3
Place milk in a 4-cup glass measuring cup and add the butter.4
Microwave on High for four minutes, until butter melts and milk is warm.5
Rapidly, stir in eggs with a fork or small whisk and combine well.6
Pour over bread.7
Microwave on Medium-High for 9 to 12 minutes.8
When cooked, centre may still be slightly soft, but does set up as pudding cools.9
Serve warm or chilled; your preference.

EXCELLENT!!! I had my doubts about microwaving bread since it tends to be super soft and then hardens usually. It smelled AWESOME (added a little cinnamon and then also vanilla the 2nd time). Used all the crusts I cut off my son's bread and had saved so it was whole grain sandwich bread scraps. Using the darker bread made it really look "baked" when done. Tasted delicious and was still great cold from the fridge. It was firm yet soft...just perfect. I am reducing the sugar this 2nd time to 1/4 cup since it was VERY VERY sweet using a full 1/2 c. Hopefully 1/4 c is just right (it's in the micro now). Thanks!!!

I have probably made this recipe 10 times already. I love it! I love bread pudding and this is so easy since I usually have all the ingredients right on hand. I've done it with italian break and plain white bread, both work extremely well. The only thing I ever do different is that I add about a tsp of vanilla and cinnamon but sometimes reduce the milk to 1&1/2 cup but everything else is perfect. LOVE this recipe!

What a great dessert for those of us expecting company with no time for dessert. I used half milk and half half & half and 3 eggs and added a teaspoon of vanilla to the milk mixture. I substituted dried cherries for the raisins. It is delicious! I plan to serve with ice cream, cherry sauce and real whipped cream. Thanks. This is a great recipe for me. We are not dessert eaters and I sometimes forget to fix for company.
