The Easiest Pineapple Bake: A Tropical Delight in Every Bite

Ingredients:

• 1 can (about 500 g or 20 oz) crushed pineapple with juice
• 100 g (1/2 cup) sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)
• 2 eggs
• 60 g (1/2 stick) butter, melted
• 3–4 slices of white bread or 1 cup breadcrumbs (fresh or dry)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease a small baking dish.

2. Prepare the bread:
   Tear the bread into small pieces or blend into coarse crumbs.

3. Mix the batter:
   In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir in the crushed pineapple (with juice), then add the bread pieces. Let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the liquid.

4. Pour and bake:
   Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Bake for 30–40 minutes, until golden brown on top and set in the center.

5. Serve:
   Serve warm as a side dish with ham or pork, or as a dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
