INGREDIENTS
Syrup
- 💧 3 cups water
- 🟤 2 ¼ cups packed brown sugar
- 🌰 ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Bread Layer
- 🍞 16 toasted bread slices
- 🧈 ½ cup butter, softened
- 🌰 ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

STEPS
Gather ingredients and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Combine water, 2 cups brown sugar, and cinnamon sticks together in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and liquid has reduced into a syrup, about 15 minutes. Remove cinnamon sticks from syrup using a slotted spoon.
Spread a thin layer of butter onto one side of each toasted bread slice, and sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
Shingle bread, butter-side up, to make two rows in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Sprinkle cheese, raisins, peanuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves over bread. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar over the cheese. Pour cinnamon syrup over entire dish; cover with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
