Recipe Summary Mexican Capirotada

Ingredients | Best Mexican Food Near Me Drive Thru

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

Directions

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.
