Breakfast bread pudding is a no-brainer main dish to make for a casual brunch or for overnight guests. This super simple recipe serves 8, can be assembled in a baking dish in as little as 15 minutes, and is great way to use up stale bread. While it stands at room temperature and bakes, you’ll have plenty of extra time to brew coffee, toss together some fruit, and prepare another side dish to round out the menu. To make Chocolate-Banana Bread Pudding, replace the cinnamon and nutmeg with 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder and use whole-wheat instead of raisin bread.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.

Whisk together the milk, half-and-half, eggs, egg whites, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl until blended. Stir in the bread and banana; let stand 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
