Old Fashioned Bread Pudding
You can actually make this bread pudding in the microwave as well as in the oven! Simply put it in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high in 5 minute intervals, rotating the dish a 1/4 turn between each interval, until the edges are firm and center is almost set. (You may want to use a little less milk for the microwaved version.)
