To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the bread pudding:

- 6 cups of cubed bread
- 2 cups of eggnog
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt

For the caramelized banana:

- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt. Add the cubed bread and stir until the bread is fully coated. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the eggnog mixture.
Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
While the bread pudding is baking, prepare the caramelized banana. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced bananas, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bananas are caramelized and the sugar has melted.
Once the bread pudding is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve the bread pudding warm with the caramelized banana on top.
This Eggnog Bread Pudding with Caramelized Banana is a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors. The bread pudding is soft and creamy, with a hint of nutmeg and vanilla. The caramelized banana adds a sweet and crunchy texture to the dish, making it a perfect dessert for any occasion.
