Time 9h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Unsalted butter for greasing pan, at room temperature
1 loaf day-old brioche (about 1 pound)
6 large eggs
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
4 ripe-but-firm bananas, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • For the casserole: Trim the ends from 1 loaf day-old brioche (about 1 pound) and cut into ten 1-inch thick slices. Cut each slice in half diagonally to make two triangles from each piece. (If the bread is fresh, dry it out a bit. Place the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees F for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.)
  • Whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until well blended. Dip each triangle of bread in the custard, lightly coating each side. Shingle the pieces in the prepared pan, overlapping slightly.
  • Pour any remaining custard over the bread slices. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let rest 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature before baking. Remove the plastic wrap and bake until the casserole is golden and puffed and the custard is set, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • For the topping: bring the butter, sugar and syrup to a boil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter is melted and the mixture is begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla, a pinch of salt, and the walnuts, stirring to coat. Turn off the heat and add the sliced bananas, stirring to coat evenly. Spoon the desired amount of the banana-syrup mixture over the casserole and serve any additional on the side.

butter
9 pieces bread, cut into bite size chunks
12 -15 pieces breakfast sausage, sliced thin
1 1/2 cups grated cheese
5 eggs
2 cups milk
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.

  • Pour wet mixture over bread/sausages/cheese.

  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this casserole, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Some good options include cheddar cheese, Gruyère cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. You can add a variety of mix-ins to this casserole to customize it to your liking. Some popular options include cooked bacon, sausage, ham, vegetables, and herbs.
