Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
In another large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all the bread is coated. Gently fold in the pineapple chunks using a spatula.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard fully.
Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the pudding.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
