How to Make Raisin Cinnamon Strata

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease an 8x8 inch glass baking dish.
  2. In the prepared dish, layer half of the bread cubes. Evenly distribute half of the softened cream cheese over the bread.
  3. Repeat layers: add remaining bread cubes, then the remaining cream cheese.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and raisins. Pour this mixture evenly over the bread and cream cheese layers.
  5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
  6. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking to allow it to come to room temperature slightly.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and set. The center should be cooked through.
  8. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Drizzle with warm maple syrup and serve alongside your favorite breakfast sausage.
