Instructions

For the Banana Bread Pudding: Lay slices of banana on the bottom of a greased 2-quart casserole. This helps keep the bananas from getting dried out when baked. Then scatter the bread cubes over the top of the banana slices.
In a medium bowl, lightly beat eggs, then stir in milk, sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes. Gently push the bread cubes into the egg mixture with the back of a spoon or spatula. You want all of the bread cubes to be thoroughly coated.
Preheat the over to 375 degrees F and let the bread pudding sit and absorb the liquid while the oven is preheating.
Bake, uncovered, for 35 to 40 minutes or until the center is is set, the top is golden and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
For the Sauce: Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in the sugar and cornstarch. Then stir in the milk (or cream) and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Remove the sauce from the heat, stir in the vanilla and serve over the Banana Bread Pudding.

Notes

Bread

Any French, Italian, country loaf or even Challah is delicious when made into bread pudding. Day-old is best
so the drier bread soaks up the delicious custard.

Leftovers:

Refrigerate any leftovers in a covered container.

Additions:

If you love Banana Chocolate Chip, you might want to change up the recipe to include a sprinkling of chocolate chips over the bread pudding before you bake it.
