Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Soak the raisins in the rum for 30 minutes. Beat the eggs, egg yolks, and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Heat the milk and cream until almost boiling. Gradually beat into the egg mixture. Add the vanilla and lemon rind. Cut the bread into triangles and arrange one third of them in a greased 8 cup baking dish. Top with half the raisins. Repeat with the remaining bread and raisins, ending with bread. Pour the egg mixture over the bread and raisins. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar and cinnamon.

Bake about 1 hour, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Serves 6 to 8
