Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 slices bread, cubed ( a good quality Italian bread works nicely)
4 very ripe bananas, mashed
grated lemon peel
Directions:
Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Add bread and let stand for 5 minutes.
Stir in the bananas.
Grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole.
Add the bread mixture.
Place the dish in a larger baking pan and add hot water until it reaches 1 1/2 inches up the sides of the inside pan.

Remove the casserole from the water and allow to cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes.
Sprinkle with lemon peel.
