For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of bourbon or rum to the custard mixture.
Use day-old bread for best results. It will soak up the custard more effectively.
Feel free to substitute other dried fruits, such as cranberries or chopped dates, for the raisins.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra decadent treat.
