Servings: 8
Ingredients
- Bread
- 6 cups, cubed (day-old bread works best)
- Canned pineapple chunks
- 1 (20-ounce) can, drained
- Milk
- 2 cups
- Eggs
- 4 large
- Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup
- Brown sugar
- 1/4 cup
- Butter
- 4 tablespoons, melted
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon
- Chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread and drained pineapple chunks, mixing gently to distribute the pineapple evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread and pineapple mixture. Stir well to coat the bread, then let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the bread pudding, ensuring even coverage.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and chopped pecans. Sprinkle the pecan mixture evenly over the top of the bread pudding.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the bread pudding is set and the top is golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
