Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170 °C and butter a baking dish.
  2. Make the caramel: melt 100 g of sugar dry in a pan until golden amber, then pour it into the bottom of the dish.
  3. Cut the bread into pieces and arrange them in the caramelised dish with the raisins.
  4. Beat the eggs with the remaining sugar, the milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  5. Add the melted butter, then pour this mixture over the bread, pressing down so it soaks in.
  6. Leave to rest for 10 minutes, then bake in a water bath for 40 to 45 minutes, until the centre is just set.
  7. Let it cool slightly, turn out onto a plate and serve lukewarm or cold.

Variations and tips

Chocolate version. Add 50 g of melted dark chocolate to the egg mixture for a richer version.
