Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 slices very dry cinnamon-raisin bread
1/2 lb sweet pork sausage, browned and drained (use maple flavored or brown sugar or apple cinnamon flavored)
6 eggs, beaten
1 (11 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
5 -6 firm bananas

Steps:

  • Grease 8x8 square baking dish.
  • Fit 4 bread slices into the bottom of the pan.
  • Crumble sausage over the bread in the pan.
  • Top with remaining 4 slices bread.
  • Beat eggs together then add the milk, cinnamon and ginger.
  • Pour over the bread in the pan, covering completely.
  • Cover tightly and refrigerate at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
  • Remove from refrigerator 1 hour before baking.
  • Bake at 350°F for 60 minutes or just until the middle is set.
  • After casserole has baked for 35 minutes, start making the banana sauce.
  • Melt stick of butter over medium heat in a skillet.
  • Stir in the brown sugar and heat until bubbly, stirring so as not to stick or burn.
  • Reduce heat to low and slice bananas about 1/4 inch thick into the skillet.
  • Continue to cook and stir occasionally until bananas are reducing in size and are becoming caramelized.
  • Keep sauce warm.
  • Remove casserole from oven and let set for 5 minutes.
  • Cut into squares and top with warm banana sauce ladled over the top.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread for the casserole. A firm bread like French bread or sourdough will hold up better than a soft bread like white bread.
  • Don't overcrowd the casserole dish. If you do, the casserole will not cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the casserole. It is done when the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  • Serve the casserole immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Sweet sausage French toast casserole with caramelized bananas is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is perfect for a crowd and can be made ahead of time. With its sweet and savory flavors, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
