Ingredients

• 6 cups Day-old bread (preferably brioche or challah)
• 1.5 cups Pineapple chunks (canned or fresh, drained if canned)
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Cut the day-old bread into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In another large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all the bread is coated. Gently fold in the pineapple chunks using a spatula.

Step 5

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard fully.

Step 6

Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the pudding.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
