Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

6 oz French bread, sliced 1/2"
Thick
3 Medium bananas, sliced
1/2 c Flaked or shredded coconut
1 tb Fresh lemon juice
4 Eggs
1/3 c Packed brown sugar
1 1/2 c Half-and-half
1 c Milk
1 ts Vanilla
Powdered sugar
Banana slices

Arrange half the bread in the bottom of a greased 9-inch square
baking pan. In a bowl, toss the bananas, coconut, and lemon juice;
distribute evenly over the bread layer, and top with the remaining
bread. In a bowl, beat the eggs and brown sugar. Beat in the
half-and-half, milk, and vanilla to blend thoroughly. Pour over the
bread, and press the bread down slightly to saturate it completely.
Bake in a 400F oven until the bread is browned and the custard is
set, 45-55 minutes. Cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar, and
garnish with additional banana slices. Serve warm. Top with whipped
cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
