1 pound Rouses French bread (at least one day old)
3 1/4 cups milk
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup raisins (optional)

Tear bread into medium pieces. Mix milk, lightly beaten eggs, and vanilla. Add sugar and cinnamon. Pour over bread mixture and let stand for ten minutes to soak up the milk mixture. Toss in raisins if you are using them. Place mix in casserole. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until lightly brown. As soon as it comes out of the oven pour sweetened condensed milk over the top.
