Pineapple Bake
- 1 can (20 oz / 560 g crushed pineapple, undrained)
- ½ cup 115 g unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup 200 g granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs (beaten)
- 5 slices white bread (cubed (about 2½ cups))
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium baking dish (about 8×8-inch or similar).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple with its juice, melted butter, sugar, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully blended.
- Gently fold in the bread cubes, making sure they are evenly coated with the pineapple mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving warm.
- Tip: This dish can be enjoyed as a side for ham, a sweet brunch casserole, or even a dessert with a dollop of whipped cream.
