Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Arrange the toasted bread slices to cover the bottom of a 6-cup gratin dish. The number of slices you will need will depend on the size of the loaf. Top with the raisins.
  3. In a bowl, beat the eggs; mix in the half-and-half, sugar and vanilla extract. Pour evenly over the bread so that all the slices are moistened.
  4. Bake for 40 minutes, or until set. Let cool.
  5. Just before serving, sprinkle with the confectioners’ sugar. Serve cool, but not cold.
