I was looking for a side dish to make for next weekend that wasn't a form of jello. So I came across this recipe in my church cookbook and it was submitted by three different people, so I figured it would be a good one to try. (And I had all of the ingredients on hand! Double Bonus!)
When I made this I halved the recipe, so in the picture you will notice it looks "thin". Sadly, I wasn't a huge fan of this dish. However it reminded me of a baked frech toast and I usually think the bread is too soggy. So if I make this again I would buy a good thicker, heartier bread that can stand up to the wetness of the egg and butter. (Meijer sells sandwhich bread that is more dense, like english muffin bread. I think that would be better). I think this would make a better dessert rather than a side dish because it is sweet!
1 stick butter or margarine
6 slices white bread, cubed
4 eggs beaten
3/4 c sugar
20 oz crushed pineapple, undrained
Melt butter. Add bread and stir. Combine eggs and sugar in a bowl, beating thoroughly. Combine butter and bread mixture with eggs and sugar mixture. Add pineapple. Pour into a 8x8 glass baking dish. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Serve warm and cut into squares.
