Tips:

Use thick slices of challah or brioche bread for a sturdy French toast that can hold up to the pineapple filling.
Make sure the pineapple is ripe and sweet. If the pineapple is too tart, it will overpower the flavor of the French toast.
Use a serrated knife to cut the pineapple into thin slices. This will help prevent the pineapple from shredding when you add it to the filling.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors in the filling. You could add a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to the pineapple, or you could use a different type of fruit, such as bananas or berries.
Serve the French toast immediately after it is cooked. This will help prevent the bread from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Pineapple stuffed French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. With its sweet and tangy filling, this French toast is sure to please everyone at the table.
