1
Preheat oven to 350.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, vanilla, 1 tablespoon rum and 1 teaspoon salt.

Line the bottom of the dish with banana coins, then spoon about 1/2 of the soaked bread over them.

Top with banana coins, and spoon the remaining soaked bread over the top.
8
Bake for 40 minutes, then sprinkle with the tablespoon of white sugar.

Continue baking until the pudding is puffed and golden on top, approximately 50 to 60 minutes total.

Meanwhile, make the sauce.

Melt the butter in a small sauce set over medium heat.

Simmer, whisking, until the sauce has thickened, approximately 5 to 8 minutes.

Remove from heat and keep warm.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
