This is a Mexican bread pudding made with cheese and is traditionally served during Lent. Colaciones are Mexican anise candies. Ingredients:
8 slices french bread |
1/2 cup raisins |
1 cup chopped walnuts |
8 slices cheddar cheese |
2 ounces colaciones candies (optional) |
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar |
1 cinnamon stick |
1 1/2 cups water |
Directions:
1. Toast the French bread and break it into 2 inch pieces.
2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
3. 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.
4. Repeat with a second and final layer of bread, raisins, nuts and cheese. Put anise candies on top of mixture, if desired.
5. 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.
6. 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.
