Ingredients:

Bread - 10 slices, cubed
Egg-3
Sugar- 3/4 Cup (1/2 + 1/4 cup)

- Beat the yellow with a fork and add the milk into it.Mix well and keep aside.
- Add half a cup of sugar to a thick bottomed vessel. Turn the heat to medium. When the sugar starts melting ,give an occasional stir. The sugar will now start to change colour. When completely caramelised ,it turns golden brown in colour. Turn off the heat and add butter to it. It will melt, mix well. Allow to cool.
- When the caramel is cooled down to room temperature, add the milk- egg yellow and mix well.
- Butter a baking pan or individual ramekins, and arrange the bread pieces at the bottom. Pour the caramel - milk mixture and allow bread pieces to soak all the lovely juices.
- While the bread takes its time to soak, beat the egg white hard ,adding 1/4 cup sugar in portions. Beat it well to a stiff peak, like for a meringue.
- Spread the meringue over the soaked bread pieces. Allow it to seep into the spaces in between ur bread pieces.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the top turns a golden brown color.
- Keep them refrigerated till ready to serve.
