Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 ounces canned pineapple chunks, drained (reserve juice)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 8 slices white sandwich bread, cubed
- 0.25 cup reserved pineapple juice
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish (approximately 9x9 inches) and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, melted butter, and beaten eggs. Mix well until smooth.
Add the pineapple chunks and reserved pineapple juice to the mixture. Stir until evenly incorporated.
Gently fold in the cubed bread, making sure all pieces are evenly coated with the pineapple mixture. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
If desired, sprinkle the top with cinnamon for added flavor and a touch of color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish or dessert!
