Tiramisu Recipe ⤏ Tiramisu Toast

Chef John's tiramisu toast provides the classic dessert flavor in an individual-sized portion that's quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2 tablespoons strongly brewed espresso
• 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 (1 inch thick) slices day-old Italian bread
• 3 tablespoons dry Marsala wine
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 0.5 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1 tiny pinch salt

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
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.
3. Transfer bread slices to the prepared pan and drizzle any accumulated coffee mixture liquid over top.
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.
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.
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.
