Time 1h20m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups water
3 cups brown sugar, divided
2 cinnamon sticks
2 cups butter, softened
2 loaves sliced white bread, toasted
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, or to taste
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves, or to taste
2 cups raisins
2 cups peanuts
1 pound shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine water, 2 cups brown sugar, and cinnamon sticks together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and liquid has reduced into a syrup, about 15 minutes. Remove cinnamon sticks from syrup using a slotted spoon.
  • Spread butter onto each toasted bread slice. Make 1 layer of buttered bread in a deep casserole dish or oven-proof stockpot. Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves over bread layer. Sprinkle 1/4 the raisins, 1/4 the peanuts, 1/4 the remaining brown sugar, and 1/4 the Cheddar cheese over bread layer. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients. Pour cinnamon syrup over entire dish; cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Cool for 20 minutes before serving.
