Mexican Bread Pudding

This is absolutely delicious!  This can be served as a dessert or as a side dish to a breakfast quiche. It’s almost like eating a cinnamon and raisin roll.

Ingredients:

1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
5 cups 1/2-inch cubes toasted French bread
1/2 cup chopped blanched almonds or walnuts
1/2 cup raisins
1 tart apple, chopped
1 cup shredded or diced Monterrey Jack or Cheddar cheese (4 oz)

Cooking Instructions:

Heat brown sugar, water, margarine, cinnamon, and orange peel to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 5 minutes.

Layer half the bread cubes, nuts, raisins, apple and cheese in ungreased 1 1/2-quart casserole; repeat. Pour hot syrup over top.

Bake uncovered in 350° oven until syrup is absorbed, 30-40 minutes.
