This is the one I use most often, but you can be creative and add different
things. I usually only make 2 of the larger custard cups at a time unless I
have more older bread to use up and cook them while something else is
cooking in the oven.

2-3 slices of old bread, your choice buttered
1 cup milk, I prefer canned milk
1/4-1/2 cup sugar (to desired sweetness)
1 large egg
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
a bit of nutmeg
can add raisins, nuts, candied ginger, chocolate chips etc. if desired

Cut buttered bread into cubes. butter two custard cups and divide bread
evenly between them. Add raisins, nuts, etc. if wanted. Beat eggs, milk,
sugar, vanilla, nutmeg together, pour equal amounts over bread cubes and let
sit for a couple of minutes, make sure all the bread is covered. Bake at 350
for 30 or so minutes or until a toothpick in the middle comes out clean. Can
serve warm or cold.
