Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 ounces canned crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 stick butter (softened)
- 4 large eggs
- 6 slices white sandwich bread (cubed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 1.5-quart casserole dish using butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter using a hand mixer or wooden spoon until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Add the canned crushed pineapple along with its juice and stir in the vanilla extract until evenly combined.
Gently fold in the cubed bread pieces, ensuring they are fully coated with the pineapple mixture but not overly broken down.
Pour the mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
If desired, sprinkle the top with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar for a caramelized topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or dessert.
