Categories Egg Dessert Bake Banana

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 cups French or Ciabatta Bread, stale and cubed
4 eggs
1-1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1-1/2 cup Whole Milk
2 tsp. Vanilla
1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
pinch Salt
1 Banana- chopped
1/2 cup Pecans- chopped
Warm Southern Comfort Sauce

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place bread cubes in medium mixing bowl. In another mixing bowl, add Eggs, Milk, Sugar, Vanilla, Cinnamon, and Salt. Using wire whip, mix the liquid ingredients until well blended. Pour over bread cubes and mix well. Let sit for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Make sure all bread is soaked with the egg and milk mixture. Add bananas and pecans. Mix until just incorporated. Pour mixture into 8" or 9" square cake pan. Bake in oven checking after 30 minutes to see if custard has set and pudding is pulling away from sides of pan. Bake for up to 15 minutes more checking doneness every 5 minutes. Remove from oven to wire rack. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Divide onto small plates or bowls. Top with warm Southern Comfort Sauce. You may also serve with a side of Vanilla Ice Cream. This pudding is very rich and sweet. You can't stop eating it.

Tips:

Make sure the bread is slightly stale before using it for bread pudding. This will help it absorb the custard better and result in a more evenly textured pudding.
Use ripe bananas for the best flavor. Overripe bananas will give the pudding a more intense banana flavor, while underripe bananas will not be as sweet.
Don't overmix the custard. Overmixing can cause the custard to become too thick and dense. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the bread pudding in a water bath. This will help to prevent the pudding from drying out and will also help to create a more evenly cooked pudding.
Serve the bread pudding warm or at room temperature. You can also chill the bread pudding overnight and serve it cold the next day.
