Milky Bread Comfort Food

Total Time: 7 mins Preparation Time: 2 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 1 slice bread, torn up into small pieces (any type, dry bread works better than fresh, fruit bread's nice, i like malted bread best)
• 3/4 cup milk (use as much or as little to taste, any type works, i use soya but you can use normal or flavoured et)
• 1 tablespoon sugar or 1 tablespoon splenda sugar substitute
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, if using, omit the sugar or splenda)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) or 1 teaspoon ginger (optional) or 1 teaspoon mixed spice, etc (optional)
• 1 tablespoon raisins (optional) or 1 tablespoon sultanas (optional) or 1 tablespoon dried fruit, etc (optional)
• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Recipe

• 1 preheat grill to high.
• 2 put pieces of bread in a microwavable bowl/ramekin (about 200ml/1 cup).
• 3 sprinkle with sugar/splenda/maple syrup and spices (if using).
• 4 pour over milk to taste (at least enough to cover the bread).
• 5 microwave on high for 1 minute, or until milk starts to bubble.
• 6 sprinkle with extra sugar if using, then either put ramekin straight under the grill, or transfer into a grillable bowl, then grill for 3-5 minutes depending on grill or how crunchy you want the top to be.
• 7 remove from grill and eat with a teaspoon. make sure it's not too hot, sometimes the milk underneath the top is still boiling. i like it with a crunchy top and lots of milk underneath where the bread's totally disintegrated, you can try with more or less milk to get the consistency you want.
• 8 if you don't have a microwave, you can bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, then grill. or alternatively if you don't have a grill, it still tastes great eaten straight from the bowl after microwaving.
