Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter or margarine shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar shopping list
- 5 large ripe bananas, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices shopping list
- 1 (12-ounce) long loaf French or Italian bread, cut crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices shopping list
- 6 large eggs shopping list
- 2 cups milk shopping list
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract shopping list
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds or coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans shopping list
How to make it
- In microwave-safe small bowl, heat butter in microwave oven on High 1 minute or until melted. Stir sugar into butter until moistened. With fingertips, press sugar mixture onto bottom of 13-inch by 9-inch glass baking dish. (It's okay if mixture does not cover bottom.) Spread fresh or dried fruit over sugar mixture; top with bread slices, cut sides down.
- In medium bowl, with whisk, beat eggs; whisk in milk and vanilla. Slowly pour milk mixture over bread; press bread down to absorb egg mixture. Sprinkle with nuts. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove plastic wrap from baking dish. Bake, uncovered, 45 to 50 minutes or until bread is golden brown and knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
- Note: If you don't have bananas, substitute 3 to 4 very ripe pears or peaches (about 1 1/2 pounds), sliced; or 1 cup dried cherries, cranberries, or raisins.
