1 tablespoon butter

2 tablespoons water

1/4 cup bourbon

2 cups sliced bananas

1/2 cup 1% milk

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup whipping cream

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

3 large eggs

6 ounces day-old Italian or French bread torn into pieces

1/4 cup fat-free caramel topping


Directions

Combine the first 3 ingredients in a small saucepan; cook over medium heat 4 minutes or until mixture is thick. Add bourbon; cook until mixture is reduced to 1/4 cup (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat. Add sliced bananas and toss gently. Spoon banana mixture into a bowl; set aside. Combine milk and next 5 ingredients (through eggs) in a large bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Add bread mixture evenly among 6 (8-oz) ramekins coated with cooking spray. Divide banana mixture evenly over bread mixture. Place ramekins on a small baking sheet. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
