Banana Nutmeg Bread Pudding
"This is my way to make a bread pudding. I started doing this years ago to use up the ends of the loaves that were ageing. Since it's (almost) fat free a lot of the goodness comes from the bread it's self so use good quality bread. This works with most other fruits as well (I don't suggest apples or berries)."

Very easy to put together! There was no pan size recommended in the recipe, so we made this in an oblong baking dish and wished we had used something smaller, like an 8x8 brownie pan. I was somewhat disappointed that the egg whites failed to bring out that custard flavor I am accustomed to in bread pudding. I think to keep things low cholesterol, using a fat free vanilla or banana pudding spooned on top of the bread pudding would give it a custard flavor while keeping the spirit of the recipe. Otherwise I would recommend using whole eggs instead of only whites in this but of course that adds cholesterol back in. Thanks for sharing. The recipe did give me some ideas to use in the future, which I would not have otherwise had. ~Sue
