My Mom sent this recipe to me and it might just help when you get a craving for bread pudding and have access to a microwave.

Put the bread in a 16-ounce glass custard cup. Toss the melted butter with the bread. Beat the egg and then mix in the sugar and milk. Stir in your choice of the seasonings. Pour the egge mixture over the bread and mix. Sprinkle over choice of optional additions, if desired. Microwave on high for about 3 minutes or until the custard is set, stirring once after 1 1/2 minutes.
