Ingredients
•
1 large egg
•
1 tablespoon white sugar
•
2 tablespoons strongly brewed espresso
•
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
2 (1 inch thick) slices day-old Italian bread
•
3 tablespoons dry Marsala wine
•
1 tablespoon white sugar
•
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
•
1 tiny pinch salt
Directions
1
Gather ingredients. 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.
