How to Make Sweet Sausage French Toast Casserole With Caramelized Bananas
- Grease an 8x8 inch square baking dish.
- Arrange 4 slices of bread in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Crumble 1 pound of sweet Italian sausage evenly over the bread.
- Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 ½ cups milk, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground ginger.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all slices are saturated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or up to 24 hours.
- Remove from refrigerator 1 hour before baking to allow it to come to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. During the last 35 minutes of baking, prepare the banana sauce (see steps 10-15).
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add ½ cup packed brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until bubbly.
- Reduce heat to low. Add 2 ripe bananas, sliced ¼ inch thick, to the skillet.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until bananas are softened and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove casserole from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
- Cut into squares and top generously with the warm caramelized banana sauce.
