Baked Pineapple:The Easter Side Dish You Never Knew You Needed To Try

baked pineapple recipe

Mom always made baked pineapple when we ate ham. She doesn’t cook much these days, but I was more than happy to take on that very important responsibility for our Easter dinner.

I absolutely love baked pineapple.

It’s a strange recipe, I’ll be the first one to admit. Straight out of the 60’s, Baked Pineapple is a casserole made with canned pineapple and piles of butter and sugar. If you aren’t making it in one of these casserole dishes, you might be doing it wrong.

Is anyone else a little freaked out that I found this by googling “vintage casserole dish”? (Photo by Deb Lindsey For The Washington Post via Getty Images).

I have a sweet tooth that can keep up with literally anyone, but I know that most people these days balk at the original recipe, so, following the suggestion of another blogger, I’ll be making some adjustments this year.

Baked Pineapple is a buttery, sweet casserole that walks the line between dessert and side dish. It’s simple to throw together with canned crushed pineapple, melted butter, sugar, and eggs, and then tossed with toasted bread cubes. It is baked for about an hour until cooked through. Dish it out generously with your ham, and you’ll be glad you gave it a try!

Baked Pineapple Digest

  • In a large bowl, mix a can of crushed pineapple, not drained, with 6 tbsp. melted butter, 1/2 cup sugar, and four eggs. Add 1/4 tsp. salt if using unsalted butter.
  • Toast 5 slices of white bread (gluten free white bread works well, too), cut off the crust, cut them into cubes, and stir them into the pineapple mixture.
  • Pour the pineapple mixture into a greased, 2 quart casserole dish. (An 8×8 square baking dish works fine if you don’t have a good ol’ vintage casserole dish.) Make sure that no dry pieces of bread are sticking out the top. Everything should be covered with the egg/pineapple mixture so that your casserole doesn’t get too browned.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour, based on the depth of your dish. It is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
