Scalloped Pineapple is a delightful baked dessert featuring soft bread cubes soaked in a buttery egg mixture with crushed pineapple, baked to a golden brown. This comforting dish offers a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess, ideal for a warm treat or a unique brunch side.

Ingredients

Bread Mixture

  • 3-1/2 cups cubed brioche or soft white bread
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Fruit

  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, well drained

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a baking dish with butter to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
  2. Soak bread: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the cubed bread. Toss gently until every piece is moistened thoroughly. Allow to soak for 15 minutes to absorb the butter and soften.
  3. Prepare egg mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they become foamy. Add the sugar and salt, mixing well to dissolve the sugar and combine all ingredients.
  4. Combine ingredients: Pour the egg mixture over the soaked bread cubes. Add the well-drained crushed pineapple and stir everything together until evenly mixed.
  5. Bake: Transfer the combined mixture to the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the scalloped pineapple cool slightly before serving to allow it to set for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Using brioche or soft white bread ensures a tender texture; stale bread can work but soften adjustments might be needed.
  • Adjust the sugar between 1/4 to 1/3 cup depending on your preference for sweetness or the pineapple’s natural tartness.
  • Ensure pineapple is well drained to prevent sogginess in the final dish.
  • Butter both moistens the bread and prevents sticking in the baking dish, enhancing richness.
