Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple, drained
- 4 cups white bread, cubed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a deeper 2-quart casserole dish and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Fold in the drained crushed pineapple until evenly combined.
Gently mix in the bread cubes until the bread is well-coated with the pineapple mixture. Be careful not to crush the bread too much to maintain the dish's texture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dish pairs wonderfully with baked ham or as a standalone treat!
