For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of your favorite liqueur (such as bourbon, rum, or amaretto) to the custard mixture. Feel free to substitute other dried fruits, such as cranberries, chopped apricots, or cherries, for the raisins. If you don't have day-old bread, you can lightly toast the bread cubes in a low oven (250°F/120°C) for about 10-15 minutes to dry them out slightly. For a richer flavor, use half-and-half or heavy cream in place of some of the milk. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra-special treat.
