BANANAS FOSTER BREAD PUDDING
Here is a nod both to the original bananas Foster at Brennan's restaurant in the French Quarter of New Orleans and to the luxe version of bananas baba au rhum that the Louisiana chef Allison Vines-Rushing once cooked at Jack's Luxury Oyster Bar in the East Village. Silky and rich, deep with the flavors of bananas, rum and custard, it is not much work to make, and pays off in incredible flavor. Do not be afraid to use an even darker sugar than the brown called for in the recipe, though molasses may be a step too far. You are looking for a deep caramel hue and flavor in the sauce, to complement the rum and the fruit. (And if you're looking to try the original, make our bananas foster recipe.)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ¼ cup of brown sugar, vanilla, 1 tablespoon rum and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the bread, and stir so that it absorbs the liquid. Set aside to soak.
- Butter a 2-quart baking dish, and place it on a baking sheet. Line the bottom of the dish with banana coins, then spoon about ½ of the soaked bread over them. Top with banana coins, and spoon the remaining soaked bread over the top. Bake for 40 minutes, then sprinkle with the tablespoon of white sugar. Continue baking until the pudding is puffed and golden on top, approximately 50 to 60 minutes total.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a small sauce set over medium heat. Add the remaining brown sugar, cream, remaining rum and salt, and whisk until combined. Simmer, whisking, until the sauce has thickened, approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Serve the pudding warm, with some of the sauce drizzled over the top, alongside vanilla ice cream.

Two classic desserts come together in the ultimate mashup: a gooey, creamy bread pudding with bananas, rum and pecans. Typically, bananas foster gets torched at the end, but this version tastes much better with extra syrup drizzled on top.

Steps:
- For the bread and syrup: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Toast the bread cubes on a baking sheet until they start to dry and harden, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
- Raise the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter.
- Meanwhile, to make the syrup, add the butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, rum, vanilla and cinnamon to a small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the mixture is thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
- For the custard: Whisk together the heavy cream, milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, rum, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, whole eggs and yolks in a large bowl. Add the bread, pecans and half of the syrup and stir until completely coated (reserve the other half of the syrup for later). Cover and let soak for about 30 minutes, pushing the bread down occasionally so that all the cubes are soaked.
- Thinly slice 4 of the bananas and fold into the bread mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake until the custard is set and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
- Thinly slice the remaining banana and scatter on top of the bread. Drizzle with the reserved syrup. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold with ice cream, if desired.

This was in a Southern Living Magazine - sounded divine! It is credited to Cafe Reconcile in New Orleans with flavors that "are destinctive in the original Brennan's Restaurant recipe for Bananas Foster." Anybody who has Brennan's Bananas Foster will tell you how WONDERFUL they are. I did not see a similar one on Zaar, so I am posting it - hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- Stir together first 6 ingredients for pudding in large bowl.
- Heat milk and butter in large saucepan over medium-high heat until melted, stirring constantly (do not boil).
- Stir about one-fourth of hot milk mixture gradually into egg mixture, add to remaining hot milk mixture, stirring constantly.
- Place bread cubes in a highly greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
- Pour egg mixture evenly over bread; press bread to absorb mixture.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 45-55 minutes.
- Remove from oven, and let stand 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve with Bread Pudding Sauce:.
- Combine butter, brown sugar, and remaining ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes (do not boil). Remove from heat.
Tips:
- Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs more custard and results in a richer, more flavorful bread pudding. If you don't have stale bread, you can toast fresh bread cubes in the oven to dry them out slightly.
- Don't overmix the custard: Overmixing the custard can make it tough. Stir just until the eggs and milk are combined.
- Use a variety of breads: Using a variety of breads, such as white, wheat, and French bread, will give your bread pudding a more complex flavor and texture.
- Add mix-ins: Feel free to add mix-ins to your bread pudding, such as raisins, nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit. Just be sure not to add too much, or the bread pudding will be too dense.
- Serve warm or cold: Bread pudding can be served warm or cold. If you're serving it warm, let it cool for a few minutes before serving so that it doesn't fall apart.
Conclusion:
Bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover bread, and it can be customized to your liking with a variety of mix-ins. Whether you like it warm or cold, bread pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying dessert, give bread pudding a try.
