Pineapple Casserole
Description
The Pineapple Casserole recipe blends drained crushed pineapple with beaten eggs, granulated sugar, and melted butter, all mixed thoroughly with cubed white bread. The bread functions as a base that soaks up the moisture from the pineapple and egg mixture, resulting in a tender and slightly custardy casserole once baked. Baking uncovered at 350°F for 45 minutes produces a set dish with a gentle sweetness balanced by pineapple's acidity. Variations in bread crust inclusion or pan size enable customization of the texture and thickness, affecting how long the casserole lasts when served.
The final casserole can be enjoyed either warm, with a richer flavor and softer texture, or cold, for a firmer serving. This flexibility makes it adaptable for different serving needs or meal courses.
Two common pan sizes influence the casserole's thickness: an 8-inch square pan yields a thicker portion, while a 9-by-13-inch pan results in a thinner casserole that can feed more people. Bread crust subjective preference does not significantly alter the recipe's success.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter unsalted
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 4 egg beaten
- 20 ounces pineapple drained, canned, crushed
- 8 lices white bread cubed (see notes)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch x 8-inch baking dish and set aside. (see note)
- Beat butter and sugar together with a hand mixer until smooth. Add the beaten eggs to the bowl and mix well.
- Add the drained pineapple and stir to combine. Add the cubed bread and mix everything really well.
- Pour the casserole mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cut into 6 pieces. Serve warm or cold.
Notes
- Removing crusts from bread is optional and does not affect the final texture significantly.
- Using an 8-inch pan provides a thicker casserole; a 9x13-inch pan produces a thinner version that serves more.
