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.

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.

Chef's Notes:
You can use very strong black coffee instead of espresso if needed. You can use cream cheese instead of mascarpone.
You can use French bread instead of Italian.
If using sweet Marsala wine, add sugar to taste.
