Steps

1

If you can't find the traditional cheeses, you can substitute with similar cheeses available to you.
2

In a pot, combine the water, piloncillo, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. Cook over medium heat until it forms a syrup, then set aside.
3

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
4

Slice the bread and melt some butter. Spread butter on both sides of each slice, place them on a baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes.
5

Grease a baking dish with butter. Arrange a layer of bread, drizzle with the syrup, and sprinkle with peanuts, walnuts, and raisins.
6

Repeat the layers, and finish by sprinkling the cheeses on top. Make sure the bread is well soaked with the syrup.
7

Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F (180°C). Remove from the oven, let cool to room temperature, refrigerate, then serve and enjoy.
