Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups butter, softened
• 0.5 Cups sugar
• 4 Large eggs
• 8 Slices white bread, divided
• 1 20 Ounces (oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 0.5 Cups heavy cream
• 0.33 Cups brown sugar, packed

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 6x10 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gently fold in the bread cubes and drained crushed pineapple until well combined. Add the heavy cream and mix until the bread is fully soaked.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Sprinkle the packed brown sugar evenly over the top of the mixture to create a caramelized crust.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Begin checking for doneness at 45 minutes to prevent overbaking.
8. Allow the bread pudding to cool slightly before serving. For an extra touch, garnish with pineapple slices or maraschino cherries.
