1

Prepare 2-quart baking dish by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.

2

Break the bread into chunks and place in a large bowl.

3

In separate bowl, mix together milk, eggs, sugar, salt, raisins, vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour this mixture over the bread chunks and gently turn and cover with the wet mixture. Pour entire mixture into the baking dish and let stand for 10 minutes (or it can be refrigerated overnight to be baked the next morning). Dot the butter on top.

4

Bake, covered, in preheated 325 degree F oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 30 minutes more. If you like a crustier brown top, slip the dish under a hot broiler until golden brown.

5

Serve with heavy cream.
