Tiramisu Toast
I was really craving tiramisu, but I didn't want to make an entire pan, so what I attempted to do was create a toast-based, individual-sized portion using the same key components. While this wasn't quite tiramisu, this much faster, simpler, easier method was incredible.

Ingredients
- 1large egg
- 1tablespoon white sugar
- 2tablespoons strongly brewed espresso
- ¼teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2(1 inch thick) slices day-old Italian bread
- 3tablespoons dry Marsala wine
- 1tablespoon white sugar
- ½cup mascarpone cheese
- 1tiny pinch salt
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.Step 2
Crack egg into a baking dish. Add white sugar, espresso, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine. Place bread slices into the dish and toss in the mixture to saturate; let sit for 10 to 15 minutes to fully absorb.Step 3
Transfer bread slices to the prepared pan and drizzle any accumulated coffee mixture liquid over top.Step 4
Bake toast in the center of the preheated oven until custard is cooked and bread bounces back slightly when touched, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer slices to a wire rack to cool to room temperature.Step 5
Meanwhile, pour wine into a saucepan. Add sugar and cook over medium heat until reduced to about 1 tablespoon. Remove from heat and let cool.Step 6
Place mascarpone cheese into a bowl and add cooled wine reduction and a very small pinch of salt. Stir with a spatula until combined. Chill before piping or spreading on cooled toast. Top with shaved chocolate.
