Bread Pudding with Warm Banana-Maple Sauce

 

 

From Good Housekeeping

 

This delicious do-ahead dish gets assembled the day

before the brunch and baked the following morning. Or,

to serve bread pudding the same day, let stand about

30 minutes before baking to allow egg mixture to be

absorbed.

 

 

Ingredients

 

 

1 loaf unsliced rich egg bread, such as challah

(about 1 pound), cut into 1-inch-thick slices

3 cups milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

10 - large eggs

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 tablespoons margarine or butter (1/2 stick)

6 - medium-size firm bananas, sliced into

1/4-inch-thick slices

1 8-ounce bottle maple syrup

 

 

Preparation - Estimated cooking time: 1 hour 5 minutes

plus overnight -

 

1 Grease shallow 3 1/2- to 4-quart ceramic casserole

or 13 " by 9 " glass baking dish. Arrange bread slices,

overlapping slightly, in dish.

 

2 In medium bowl, with wire whisk or fork, beat milk,

salt, eggs, and 1/4 cup sugar until well mixed. Slowly

pour egg mixture over bread slices; prick bread slices

with fork and press slices down to absorb egg mixture.

Spoon any egg mixture that bread has not absorbed back

over bread slices.

 

3 In cup, mix cinnamon with 1 tablespoon sugar;

sprinkle over top of bread pudding and dot with 2

tablespoons margarine or butter. Cover and refrigerate

overnight.

 

4 To bake, preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Uncover and

bake bread pudding 45 minutes or until knife inserted

in center comes out clean.

 

5 Meanwhile, prepare banana sauce: In nonstick 12-inch

skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons

margarine or butter. Add banana slices and cook until

lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Pour maple syrup

over bananas; heat to boiling. Boil 2 to 3 minutes

until mixture thickens slightly. Serve warm sauce in

bowl with bread pudding.
