Ingredients
- 1 loaf of bread 22 slices or small French Bread
- 4 eggs (2 whole eggs and 2 egg yolks)
- 1 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 stick melted butter
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (or your almond, lemon, rum, if you prefer)

- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Directions
Step 1
Use day old bread, in fact, the older the better. In a large bowl, break the bread in small chunks.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, melted margarine, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, milk, pineapple and raisins.

Pour the milk mixture over the bread. Add more liquid if your bread is not totally immersed in the custard mix. Let the liquid and bread sit for a while so it can be a good mixture and the bread is wet and soaked.
