In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg until frothy.

Dice the banana into small pieces. Then add the bananas, pineapple tidbits, and chopped nuts (if using) to the egg mixture. Stir until combined.
Slice the bread into bite-sized pieces. Add the bread cubes to the egg mixture, tossing to coat evenly.

This was excellent. We made it last night. There was actually enough for 3 servings! I am gluten free (not by choice) but not allergic to gluten just can't tolerate Gluten. I made it with Gluten free white bread it's more tolerable for me . Turned out delicious! We also made homemade caramel sauce & poured over it with whipped cream. This morning there was a serving left I refrigerated it & just re heated. My Grand ate it for breakfast! It's even better the next day! Reminds me of the Bread pudding I used to buy from this Supermarket where I grew up. The woman made it homemade everyday from the leftover bread. Totally yummy and this is so close to that! Highly recommend!
