This bread pudding is a Lenten tradition in my family. If you can’t find piloncillo where you live (you can buy it in any grocery store in San Antonio) you can substitute 3 cups of brown sugar for the 6 piloncillos (which are cones of unrefined sugar).
Yes, onions and cheese in bread pudding does sound strange. But you’ll be surprised by the overall taste of this dish. This is down-home Tex-Mex comfort food!
Combine water, piloncillos, cinnamon sticks and green onions in a large pot or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil and cook until the piloncillos are dissolved and the syrup is dark from the spices. At this point, take a taste (you may want to add additional brown sugar or spices depending on your personal taste). Remove from heat and take out the whole green onions and cinnamon sticks.
Toast the French bread slices (you can do this ahead of time or while the syrup is cooking). Spread margarine liberally on both sides of the toasted bread. Layer toast slices, cheese, raisins, and nuts in two 9X13 pans (preferably glass), repeating layers until both pans are full, ending with a layer of cheese, raisins and nuts.
Pour the syrup over the top, dividing evenly between both pans, and making sure that all the bread is moistened.
Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot or cold. Store in the refrigerator.
