Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (gas mark 4).
  2. Butter each slice of bread generously, then cut them into triangles or squares.
  3. Layer a first row of bread in a buttered baking dish, scatter over the raisins, then finish with a second layer.
  4. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar, milk, cream, vanilla and cinnamon until smooth.
  5. Pour the mixture over the bread, pressing gently so it all soaks in, then let it rest 15 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle with nutmeg and brown sugar, then bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden and the custard has set.
  7. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving, warm or cold.

Variations and tips

Orange version. Add the zest of one orange to the custard for a fresher flavour.
