-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 cups cubed day-old French or sourdough bread -- 1-inch
pieces
1/4 cup butter or margarine -- melted
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup sliced firm bananas -- 1/4-inch pieces
SAUCE
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Place the bread cubes in a greased 2-qt. casserole; pour butter over and
toss to coat. In a medium bowl, lightly beat eggs; add milk, sugar, vanilla,
cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Stir in bananas. Pour over bread cubes and stir
to coat. Bake, uncovered, at 375 for 40 minutes or until a knife inserted
near the center comes out clean. Meanwhile, for sauce, melt butter in a
small saucepan. Combine sugar and cornstarch; add to butter. Stir in milk
and corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture comes to a
full boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat; stir in the vanilla.
Serve warm sauce over warm pudding.
