How to cook deliciously - Capirotada

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. Stage

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.

3. Stage

Spread butter onto each toasted bread slice. Make 1 layer of buttered bread in a deep casserole dish or oven-proof stockpot. Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves over bread layer. Sprinkle 1/4 of the raisins, 1/4 of the peanuts, 1/4 of the remaining brown sugar, and 1/4 of the Cheddar cheese over bread layer. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients. Pour cinnamon syrup over entire dish; cover with aluminum foil.

4. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
