You can enjoy this bread as is, or enhance its flavor by toasting it. Toasting brings out the nutty aroma of the walnuts and slightly caramelizes the sugars from the raisins, creating a delightful crispness. It is also excellent when used to make French toast, as the bread absorbs the egg mixture well and bakes up beautifully. For a simple snack, it pairs well with butter or cream cheese.
