Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 1.5 QT casserole with nonstick cooking spray. Mix milk, 1 egg and 2 egg yolks, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in large bowl; stir in bread cubes. Bake uncovered until knife inserted 1 inch from edge comes out almost clean, 30-35 minutes.
Prepare Brown Sugar Meringue with 2 egg whites, cream of tartar, 3 T brown sugar and vanilla. Spoon onto hot bread pudding. Spread over top, mounding to form peaks and carefully sealing meringue to edge of dish to prevent shrinking or weeping. Bake until peaks are golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Serve warm or cold. Refrigerate any remaining pudding.
