Pineapple Recipes
Are you ready for this Pineapple Souffle? Just the right amount of sweetness, topped with a crunchy cinnamon crust. You’ve never had anything quite like this before, I promise! But, wait, I’m getting ahead of myself!
Ohhh, Pineapple, where have you been all my life. I honestly have never been a huge fan of pineapple. But we went to Hawaii a couple summers ago and toured the Maui Gold Pineapple Farm. That was actually my first time really giving the Pineapple a chance. Every member of my family got a pineapple to take back to our rented house and we spent the rest of the week making tons of pineapple recipes.
Since then, we’ve sprinkled this site with some delicious Pineapple Recipes. From a Pineapple Pretzel Salad and Pineapple Sunshine Cake to this Orange Pineapple Cake (AKA Pig Pickin’ Cake), we’ve had some fun recipes on here. We also have this recipe for Slow Cooker Ham and Pineapple. There is just something about mixing together the salty, savory taste of ham with the sweetness of pineapple!
Pineapple Souffle
That combo of sweet and savory is what makes this Pineapple Souffle such a great side dish idea for Easter celebrations. You can also serve it with pork too! Any salty meat will work! And, with only 6 easy ingredients and a couple minutes of prep, it will take a lot of the stress out of your Holiday meal!
So, what is a Pineapple Souffle? The best way to describe it is that it is sort of like a bread pudding with a slight pineapple twist. And, while it does have both white sugar and brown sugar, you can adjust both to make this dish a little less sweet for a more traditional side dish.
Ready to get started? Here is what you’ll need:
- 1 can, 20 oz, crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup white sugar
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup, 1 stick, butter, melted
- 5 slices white bread, cut into 1/2″ cubes
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Can You Make Pineapple Souffle Ahead Of Time?
The short answer is: I haven’t tried it. I did some research on the web and it seems like some people say you can make this up to 3 days ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. Honestly, having that bread sitting there soaking up all the liquids for 3 days sounds like it wouldn’t work out very well. So, personally, I’d advise against it. But, if you do try it, let us know how it turns out in the comments!
Notes, Tips and Suggestions
- We kept the crust of our bread on. You may like this recipe better with all the crust cut off. Your choice!
- It says so in the directions, but make sure you drain the pineapple well before putting it in this dish!
- We used canned crushed pineapple, but you can also use canned diced
- pineapple if you’d like.
- We really love the brown sugar topping that gives it a little “crisp”. If your pineapple souffle is done but you need your topping a little crispier, just put it on “low broil” for a couple minutes. Watch it carefully!
- Garnish with some fresh pineapple slices of maraschino cherries.
- This dish does have egg in it. I wouldn’t leave it out at room temperature for more than a couple of hours.

This is a delicious side served with Ham, Pork or Sausage dishes. Or can also be served as a dessert by itself or topped with whipped cream & a 🍒 cherry on top or a scoop of your favorite Ice Cream frizzed with chocolate.
