Ingredients
| 1 and 1/2 loaf of Cinnamon Raisin | |
| Butter for greasing | |
| 8 whole eggs | |
| 2 cups of whole milk | |
| ½ cup of heavy cream | |
| 1 cup of sugar | |
| 2 tsp. of ground cinnamon | |
| 2 tbsp. of vanilla extract | |
| TOPPING | |
| 1 stick of cold butter, cut into pieces | |
| ½ cup of flour | |
| ½ cup of brown sugar | |
| 1 tsp. of ground cinnamon | |
| ¼ tsp. salt | |
| ½ cup of raisins | |
| Softened butter & warm maple syrup for serving |
How to make
| 1. | Overlap the slices of bread in a well buttered baking dish. |
| 2. | In separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon, then pour the mixture evenly over all the pieces of bread, soaking the bread as much as possible. |
| 3. | To make the topping, combine the butter, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl and cut it all together with a pastry cutter. Stir in the raisins. |
| 4. | Sprinkle the topping all over the casserole. Cover the pan with foil and refrigerate it for several hours or overnight. |
| 5. | When you’re ready to bake the French toast, preheat the oven to 350◦F. Bake the French toast for 45 minutes to 1 hour for a softer texture, or longer for a firmer, crisper texture. Cover with foil for the first 30 minutes of baking, then remove it for the remaining baking time. |
| 6. | Serve with butter and warm maple syrup. |
