Individual Bread Puddings with Banana Sauce

50 Mins

Ingredients


6 Large Eggs

1/4 Cup Sugar

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

2 Cups Whole Milk

1 Tablespoon Vanilla

18 Slices Cinnamon-Sugar Swirl Potato Bread (1½ Loaves), torn into bite-sized pieces

2 Firm-Ripe Medium Bananas

1 Stick (1/2 Cup) Unsalted Butter, cut into pieces

1/4 Cup Packed Light Brown Sugar

Splash of Apple Juice

Ice Cream, to serve


Serves: 12

Directions


Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Whisk together eggs, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add in milk and vanilla, then whisk to combine.

Step 3

Divide the torn bread pieces between 12 greased regular-sized muffin cups. Top with custard mixture and let stand for 5-6 minutes, or until bread is soft and some of the custard is absorbed.

Step 4

Bake bread puddings on center rack in oven until golden and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan, then cool on rack until warm, about 10 minutes more.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare banana sauce: Cut bananas crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Melt butter in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, then add brown sugar and cook, while whisking, until smooth and well-combined, about 1 minute. Add bananas and a splash of juice or water, then simmer, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Serve bread puddings warm with a scoop of ice cream and banana sauce spooned over top.
