Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Raisin bread
- 6 large Eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- optional, for serving Maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Cut the raisin bread into cubes, about 1-inch in size, and distribute them evenly in the greased baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread cubes, pressing the bread slightly to ensure all pieces are coated and soak up the custard.
In a small bowl, prepare the crumble topping by mixing the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the butter using a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the soaked bread mixture in the dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven. Then, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve warm, optionally drizzled with maple syrup.
