Time 1h5m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Steps:

Tips:

  • Prep Pineapple Properly: Ensure your pineapple is fresh and ripe by selecting a fruit that's firm and gives slightly to pressure. Fresh pineapple adds the best flavor to this casserole.
  • Drain Pineapple Thoroughly: After chopping the pineapple, drain it well to remove excess moisture. This prevents the casserole from becoming too watery.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality ingredients to elevate the casserole's flavor. Fresh eggs, real butter, and pure vanilla extract make a big difference.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Mix the batter until just combined to avoid a tough casserole. Overmixing can result in a dense texture.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Keep an eye on the casserole while baking and remove it from the oven when the top is golden brown. Overbaking can dry out the casserole.
  • Serve Warm or Cold: This casserole can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference. If serving cold, chill it for at least 4 hours before serving.
