This fruity twist on an old-fashioned favorite is plain delicious, confirms Katie Sloan of Charlotte, North Carolina. Who says you can't make a custard dessert for just two?
Ingredients:
1 cup cubed french bread (1/2-inch cubes)
1/2 small firm banana, sliced
3 tablespoons crushed pineapple, drained
1 tablespoon flaked coconut
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 egg
4-1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/3 cup half-and-half cream
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Place half of the bread cubes in a 2-cup baking dish coated with cooking spray. Combine the banana, pineapple, coconut and lemon juice; spoon over bread cubes. Top with remaining bread cubes.
2. In a bowl, beat the egg and brown sugar. Add the cream and vanilla; mix well. Pour over bread and press down slightly. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. Yield: 2 servings.
