Pineapple Bread Pudding
Ingredients:
- ½ cup butter (1 stick), melted
- 1 cup white sugar
- 6 eggs
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
- 6 thick slices of white bread, cubed
- 1 20oz can crushed pineapple, drained
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
Preparation:
- Start by greasing an 8×8 baking dish and preheating your oven to 350°F (177°C). This sets the stage for your pudding to bake to perfection.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and white sugar until the mixture becomes fully combined and develops a light, airy texture. This step ensures the base of your pudding is sweet and flavorful.
- One at a time, crack the eggs into the bowl, beating well after each addition. This method helps incorporate air and volume into the pudding, making it delightfully fluffy.
- Gently fold in the cubed bread and drained crushed pineapple, stirring until each piece is lovingly coated and soaked in the egg mixture. This step marries the textures and flavors, setting the foundation for a moist and flavorful dessert.
- Carefully pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the top with brown sugar, which will caramelize as it bakes, creating a beautifully golden and crunchy crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-55 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top starts to turn a gorgeous golden brown and the pudding feels set to the touch.
Serve this heavenly Pineapple Bread Pudding warm, and watch as it disappears slice by slice. Each serving brings a slice of joy, making it the perfect ending to any dining experience. Enjoy!
