Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Cool for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.
Step 4
Spread a thin layer of butter onto one side of each toasted bread slice. Shingle bread, butter-side up, to make two rows in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle cheese, raisins, peanuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves over bread. Sprinkle remaining remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar over the cheese. Pour cinnamon syrup over entire dish; cover with aluminum foil.
