Microwave: Mug O'Creole Bread Pudding

First, I am shocked.

 

This recipe calls for over 11 ingredients. Me, make a recipe with more than 5 ingredients, never.

 

What happened?

 

I am getting more comfortable cooking recipes that call for more than 5 ingredients, especially, if the ingredients are fairly common. 

 

Ok, ok, I know that reducing a recipe for many to a recipe for one often does not produce the same flavor combinations.

Also, reducing a recipe for many to a recipe for one is often not exact.

Second, I was surprised this recipe uses baguette bread rather than a slice of bread, and it gave this bread pudding quite a different flavor and texture! The pudding is more dense.
