Ingredients

• 8 slices cinnamon raisin bread
• 5 pieces large eggs
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.

Step 2

Cut the cinnamon raisin bread slices into 1-inch cubes and set them aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

Step 4

Gently fold in the raisins to the egg mixture.

Step 5

Layer the bread cubes evenly in the greased baking dish.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are evenly soaked. Use a spatula to press the bread down slightly to ensure it absorbs the custard.

Step 7

Let the dish rest for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the mixture.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.

Step 9

Allow the strata to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Cinnamon Raisin Strata!
