Mexican Bread Pudding
Ingredients
  • 3 cups water
  • 3 cups brown sugar, divided
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 2 loaves sliced white bread, toasted
  • 2 cups butter, softened
  • 1 pound shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups peanuts
  • 2 cups raisins
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves, or to taste
Instructions
1
Acquire necessary ingredients and preheat the oven to its optimal temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Combine water, two cups of brown sugar, and multiple cinnamon sticks in a saucepan; heat the mixture until it reaches a boiling point.
3
Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has fully incorporated into the liquid and it has thickened into a syrup-like consistency, approximately 15 minutes. Remove the cinnamon sticks from the syrup using a strainer.
4
Apply a thin layer of butter to one side of each toasted bread slice, and sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
5
Arrange the bread slices in a layered formation, butter-side up, to create two parallel rows within a 9x13-inch baking dish.
6
Sprinkle cheese, raisins, peanuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves over the bread. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar over the cheese. Pour the cinnamon syrup evenly over the entire dish; cover with aluminum foil.
7
Bake in the preheated oven until the bread is cooked through, approximately 30 minutes. Allow it to cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving
