Ingredients
•
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
•
1 (6 ounce) can evaporated milk
•
6 ounces milk
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
4 cups day-old 12-grain bread (such as Oroweat®), cut into 1-inch cubes
•
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
•
1/2 cup raisins
•
2 ounces Neufchatel cheese, cubed
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
2
Mix sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Add bread cubes and stir until well incorporated. Let sit for 5 minutes so bread will absorb some of the liquid. Add walnuts and raisins and stir to combine.
3
Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish. Dot with Neufchatel cheese, pressing down.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
