Ingredients:

• 8 slices of bread
• ⅓ C. Raisins
• 2 tsp. Cinnamon
• 1 ½ C. Milk
• ¼ C. Heavy whipping cream
• 2 Large eggs
• ¼ C. Granulated sugar + some for topping
• 2 Tbsp. Butter softened

Instructions:

• Cut the crust off of the pieces of bread, butter one side of each slice, and cut the slices in half diagonally to form triangles.
• Place a layer of the bread slices butter side up in a well greased 9×9 baking dish.
• Sprinkle half of the raisins and cinnamon over the layer of bread.
• Add the second layer of bread on top of the first and top with the remaining raisins and cinnamon.
• In a saucepan, warm the milk and heavy whipping cream, but do not allow it to boil.
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar.
• Slowly add a little of the warmed milk mixture to the bowl with the egg mixture, and whisk well to combine.
• Once the egg mixture has been tempered, whisk it into the milk mixture in the saucepan once removed from the heat.
• Pour the custard mixture over the bread in the baking dish, and allow it to sit for 30 minutes to set.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
