Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 bananas, mashed
3 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
½ cup heavy cream
¾ cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
12 cups brioche bread, 1 loaf (day old bread)
1 cup chocolate chips
¼ cup pecan, chopped
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 stick
1 cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons pecan, chopped
3 bananas, halved lengthwise and crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Make the banana custard: In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add the eggs, milk, and heavy cream and stir to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla and mix with a fork.
  • Add the sugar mixture to the custard mixture and stir to combine.
  • Add the cubed bread, chocolate chips, and pecans to the custard mixture and toss well to coat. Let soak for 10 minutes.
  • While the bread is soaking, make the caramel base: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave the butter for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and hot.
  • Add the brown sugar and stir to combine. Microwave for another minute, stirring halfway, until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
  • Add the salt, vanilla, and pecans and stir to combine.
  • Pour the caramel into the bottom of a 9 (22 cm) x 13-inch (33 cm) baking dish and spread evenly. Arrange the bananas, cut side down, over the caramel.
  • Spoon the brioche-custard mixture evenly over the bananas.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for 40-45 minutes longer, until the custard is set. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Run a knife around the edges of the baking dish to loosen the bake, then invert onto a rectangular serving dish. Do not wait any longer than 5 minutes or the bake will stick to the pan.
