Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3-1/4 cups 2% milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 6 cinnamon-raisin bagels, cubed (about 10 cups)
  • 1-1/3 cups raisins
  • SAUCE:
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg until blended. Stir in cubed bagels and raisins. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Refrigerate, covered, several hours or overnight.
