Pineapple Bread Soufflé Recipe

My daughter, Jaclyn and son-in-law Christian just recently got married and embarked on a romantic, tropical honeymoon. As I looked at all the pictures people had taken of the happy couple, so many wonderful memories flooded back to me. 

My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Hawaii and I remember going there and just loving the tropical atmosphere.  That is where I had the best pineapple I have ever tasted.  It was fresh and juicy, and just delish (as Rachel Ray would say).

Since my honeymoon, I’ve been back to Hawaii four different times.  It’s a place I love to visit and wouldn’t mind going back to again; maybe in a few years with my grandchildren (Jaclyn and Christian are having twins, to be expected in November!) . I want to share a wonderful recipe with you that reminds me of my Hawaiian adventures…

Pineapple Bread Soufflé

Ingredients:

½ cup butter

1 cup sugar

4 eggs

5 slices white bread, cut into 1 inch cubes (toast them lightly, so they are stiff and not  

    too soft).

1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

1/3 cup brown sugar

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease a 6×10 inch baking dish.
• Cream the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.  Beat in the eggs one at a time.  Stir in the bread cubes.
• Add the pineapple until well blended. 
• Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. 
• Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the top.
• Bake in preheated oven until bread points on top are golden brown, 45 – 60 minutes.  Cool before serving.
• I serve with fresh whipped cream (which I do from scratch, but you can use canned whipped cream topping)

I have doubled this for large parties, and it is truly delicious.  It is actually a light dessert and I usually make it on holidays.  You can serve as a side dish (without the whipped cream) or as a dessert. 

So bring a little Hawaiian pineapple to your table and enjoy this yummy dessert.  If you’re smart, do what I do and have printed copies of this recipe ready for your company, because I can guarantee you, they will want the recipe. Enjoy!!
