Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Pineapple chunks (canned, drained)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, milk, and salt until fully combined. Add the melted butter to the mixture in a slow stream while continuing to whisk.
Gently fold in the breadcrumbs with a spatula. Mix until evenly coated and the breadcrumbs absorb the liquid.
Add the drained pineapple chunks to the mixture and fold them in gently to avoid breaking the pieces.
If using, sprinkle in the ground cinnamon for a touch of warm flavor and stir lightly.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is set (a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean).
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve warm as a side dish, dessert, or even as a unique brunch option. Enjoy!
