Ingredients

  • 55 g Bread rolls, hard
  • 10 g Butter, unsalted
  • 30 g Sugar, brown
  • 60 g Water
  • 1 g Cinnamon
  • 0.2 g Cloves

Method

  1. Slice the bread and toast it lightly, then brush with the melted butter and toast again until golden and dry.
  2. Simmer the brown sugar, water, cinnamon and clove together for 8 minutes to make a light syrup.
  3. Layer the toasted bread in a small baking dish with the raisins, pecans and half the queso fresco scattered between the layers.
  4. Pour the warm syrup evenly over the bread, pressing gently so it soaks in.
  5. Scatter the remaining queso fresco on top and bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and the bread has absorbed most of the syrup.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature.
