I had some slices of bread I didn't want to eat the usual way so I decided to mash them up and transform them into pudding.
Aside from butter and sugar, I had all the other ingredients on hand. A quick trip to the corner store made it all complete.
First, I soaked the bread slices in the milk. A first I wanted to take out the crusts but the it had the multi-grains struck to it. Maybe the extra crunch wouldn't be so bad.
After checking the recipe I realized that the milk should have been hot when I soaked the bread slices. I quickly nuked it and voila - bread slices in hot milk.
While waiting for the bread to turn into mush, I mixed 1 egg, 3 heaping tablespoons of sugar (I used the tablespoon they use for Chinese soups :p), a capful of vanilla (I reckon it's around 1 teaspoon) and what I think was 4 tablespoons of butter. Maybe I should have melted the butter to get a more exact measurement but I like to live dangerously. I'm sure it will melt while I mix all of the stuff together.
Not. No matter who fast I swirled it around the butter did not melt. I microwaved it for 30 seconds hoping the butter would melt and that the egg wouldn't turn itself into a scramble. My prayers were answered.
I poured the egg-butter solution to my soaked bread pieces and mixed them together. The whole thing smelled wonderful even if it looked like my cat's vomit.
After 30 minutes of baking, I took it out and found it still a bit mushy. So I microwaved it for another 7 minutes. It doesn't say that in the recipe but hey, it worked.
It won't win any awards but it was edible.
