Ingredients

  • 1/2-2/3 Loaf of Bread about 5 cups total
  • 1/2 cup raisons
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar, cane sugar or monkfruit
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg plus some to sprinkle on top
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cloves

Instructions

  1. Cut or teat the bread into pieces about 1 - 1 1/4". Toss with the raisons, and pile into the casserole dish.

  2. Whisk together in a bit bowl all the rest of the ingredients. To blend really well, use an immersion blender. This totally incorporates the eggs. Pour over the bread cubes, trying to wet all of them.

  3. Preheat the oven to 350F. While it heats, push the bread down into the custard with the back of a large spoon. Set a plate on top to keep the bread immersed. Let sit 20-30 minutes.

  4. Place the casserole dish into the larger pan on the cookie sheet. Fill with hot water to at least an inch deep, or about half way up the casserol the dish. Place carefully in the oven. Bake 55-60 mintues. A knife in the center should come out clean.

  5. Let sit about 10 minutes, then serve warm. If desired, serve with more cream, milk, a sauce, ice cream or whipped cream.
