Ingredients

  • White bread – Use day-old or toasted for the best texture and absorption.
  • Butter – Adds moisture and rich flavor to the stuffing.
  • Eggs – Help bind the ingredients and create a soft, custardy texture.
  • Sugar – Enhances the natural sweetness of the pineapple.
  • Crushed pineapple – The core flavor component that adds fruitiness and moisture.
  • Salt – Balances the overall sweetness and deepens the flavor.
  • Cinnamon (optional) – Adds a hint of warm spice for extra depth.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Cube the white bread and toast slightly if fresh.
  3. Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the crushed pineapple with juice and optional cinnamon.
  6. Fold in the bread cubes gently until coated.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 45–50 minutes or until golden and the center is set.
  9. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use stale or lightly toasted bread for optimal texture.
  • Let the dish cool slightly after baking to firm up for slicing.
  • Pair with ham, turkey, or brunch favorites.
  • Add nutmeg or vanilla for a dessert-style variation.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
