This easy overnight recipe makes a delightful breakfast or brunch entrée. The flavor is reminiscent of banana pudding, so Iâve also served it for dessert.Nancy Zimmerman, Cape May Court House, New Jersey Ingredients:
2 cups sliced ripe bananas |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
9 cups cubed french bread |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed |
9 eggs |
4 cups 2% milk |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1/4 cup maple syrup |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, toss bananas with lemon juice. Place half of bread in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; layer with cream cheese, bananas and remaining bread.
