- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon

Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cube your day-old bread, ensuring that each piece is roughly the same size for even cooking.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until fully combined.
- Toss the bread cubes into the mixed custard, ensuring every piece is coated thoroughly.
- Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to soak in the flavors.
- Gently fold in the raisins or dried fruits, if using.
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and level the surface for even cooking.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes, removing the foil for the last 10-15 minutes to allow the top to brown beautifully.
