5 mins
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with maple syrup, dust with powdered sugar, or top with fresh berries, if desired. (5 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use challah bread or brioche instead of raisin bread.
If you don't have time to let the casserole sit before baking, you can bake it immediately, but the texture might be slightly drier.
For an extra layer of flavor, add a streusel topping made with flour, butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
Store leftover casserole in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
