Preparation

  2. Cut the day-old French bread into 1-inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice until smooth.
  4. Mash the ripe bananas and mix them into the custard mixture, along with the chopped walnuts, if using.
  5. Pour the custard over the bread cubes, stir gently, and let soak for 20 minutes.
  6. Spray the baking dish with non-stick spray and transfer the soaked mixture into it, spreading evenly.
