Banana Bread-bread Pudding

Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 loaf banana bread (approximately 9 x 5, or 8 x 4 inches, or about 6 cups total cubed banana bread)
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 2 cups milk
• 4 eggs
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 banana (chopped or sliced, you may need 2 if they're smallish)

Recipe

• 1 heat the oven to 350°f, and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
• 2 slice the banana bread into 1 inch slices, place on a baking sheet, and toast in the oven, about 8-10 minutes, then cut into cubes.
• 3 place half the cubes in the baking dish, and cover with the chopped or sliced banana, then add the rest of the bread cubes over that.
• 4 whisk the half and half, milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla in a bowl, and pour over the banana bread cubes in the baking dish.
• 5 let it sit for about 5 minutes before putting it in the oven.
• 6 bake for one hour--a knife inserted in the center will look wet, but mostly clean.
• 7 let it set for 5-10 minutes, and scoop out and serve warm, with cream, or it's even delicious plain.
