Morsels of French bread are layered with raisins, chopped nuts and cheese, then baked with a brown sugar and cinnamon syrup to make a traditional Mexican bread pudding. For extra flavor, sprinkle Mexican anise candies over the top before baking.

INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):

PREPARATION:

  • Toast the French bread and break it into 2 inch pieces.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • In a lightly greased 8x8 inch baking dish, spread about half of bread pieces on the bottom of the dish; sprinkle with half of the raisins, nuts and cheese.
  • Repeat with a second and final layer of bread, raisins, nuts and cheese. Put anise candies on top of mixture, if desired.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir brown sugar, cinnamon and water until it forms a syrup; pour half of the syrup over bread.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes and remove from oven; pour remaining syrup over bread and bake for another 15 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
