Ingredients

• 20 ounces canned crushed pineapple (with juice)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 stick butter (softened)
• 4 large eggs
• 6 slices white sandwich bread (cubed)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 1.5-quart casserole dish using butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter using a hand mixer or wooden spoon until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 4

Add the canned crushed pineapple along with its juice and stir in the vanilla extract until evenly combined.

Step 5

Gently fold in the cubed bread pieces, ensuring they are fully coated with the pineapple mixture but not overly broken down.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the top with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar for a caramelized topping.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.

Step 9

Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or dessert.
