A delightfully sweet pineapple stuffing that pairs beautifully with ham. This comforting side dish combines crushed pineapple with soft bread cubes in a custard-like base for the perfect holiday accompaniment.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 20-ounce can crushed pineapple with juice
- 12 slices white bread cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, approximately 1 minute.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next one.
- Stir in the crushed pineapple along with all of its juice until evenly combined with the butter mixture.
- Gently fold in the bread cubes, stirring just until all pieces are evenly coated with the pineapple mixture. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle cinnamon over the top.
- Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving to let the stuffing firm up slightly.
