From BC's Most Requested Recipes. An ooey-gooey do-ahead (1-24 hours) egg bake that will knock your socks off.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
3 medium bananas, sliced
1 loaf sliced unfrosted firm cinnamon-swirl bread
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
1. Spray bottom and sides of a 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray or grease with shortening. In a large bowl, stir together first four (4) ingredients then gently stir in the bananas. Spoon this mixture into the baking dish.
2. Reserving heels of bread for another use (feed the birds, they love cinnamon bread) arrange 2 layers of bread on banana mixture, tearing bread to fit if needed.
3. In a medium-size bowl, beat eggs, milk and vanilla until well mixed. Pour over bread. Cover tightly and refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 24 hours.
4. Heat oven to 325°. Uncover casserole and bake 45-50 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Serve portions upside-down, spooning sauce from bottom of dish over each serving.
