Steps

    Preparation

    • Preheat oven to 175 C.
    • In a medium-sized stockpot, add the water, piloncillo, cinnamon sticks, and cloves over medium-high heat. Allow the piloncillo to completely dissolve and the syrup thickens, about 10 to 15 minutes.
    • Slice the bolillos or French bread about 1 cm thick and assemble on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes.
    • In a deep 20x20 cm baking dish, spray the bottom with cooking spray.
    • Layer the toasted bread, sprinkling raisins, peanuts, and cheese between layers, until the baking dish is full. Add extra cheese and raisins on top.
    • Spoon the syrup over the assembled dish until all the bread is moist.
    • Bake for 40 minutes until golden brown.
    • Serve warm and enjoy.
