How to Make Microwave Peach Apricot Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat your microwave.
  2. Cut 8 slices of bread (about 1 inch thick) into 1-inch squares.
  3. Place bread squares in a large, microwave-safe casserole dish. Add 1/2 cup sultanas (raisins).
  4. Open a 425g can of peach and apricot slices. Using a can opener, open the can approximately 1 cm on either side of the lid to easily drain the juice.
  5. Drain the juice into a measuring jug, reserving approximately 1/4 cup.
  6. Open the rest of the can and roughly chop the fruit while still in the can.
  7. Add the chopped fruit to the bread squares in the casserole dish and gently toss to combine.
  8. Pour the reserved 1/4 cup of juice over the bread mixture to slightly moisten.
  9. Cut the remaining 2 slices of bread into quarters. Spread 2 tablespoons of jam evenly on each quarter.
  10. Arrange the jam-topped bread quarters on top of the fruit and bread mixture.
  11. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk (whole milk or substitute with skim milk as noted in variations), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  12. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all pieces are moistened. Let stand for 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
  13. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over the top.
  14. Microwave on medium-high for 12 minutes.
  15. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  16. Microwave on high for 5 minutes.
  17. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  18. Microwave on medium-high for 10 minutes.
  19. Let stand until cool enough to serve (about 10-15 minutes).
  20. Optional: Drizzle with honey, maple syrup, or caramel topping for extra sweetness.
