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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish (approximately 9x9 inches) and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, melted butter, and beaten eggs. Mix well until smooth.
Step 3
Add the pineapple chunks and reserved pineapple juice to the mixture. Stir until evenly incorporated.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 6
If desired, sprinkle the top with cinnamon for added flavor and a touch of color.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish or dessert!
