Ingredient Notes & Details

Crushed pineapple
Use canned crushed pineapple in juice, not syrup.
Drain slightly but don’t remove all the liquid for moisture.

Sugar
Granulated sugar enhances the pineapple’s natural sweetness.
You can reduce slightly if you prefer it less sweet.

All-purpose flour
Helps thicken the mixture as it bakes.
Creates a soft, spoonable texture.

Butter
Melted butter adds richness and flavor.
Unsalted butter gives you better control over saltiness.

Eggs
Bind everything together and give structure.
Bring them to room temperature for best results.

Cheddar cheese
Sharp cheddar is traditional and adds savory contrast.
Grate it fresh for better melting.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.

Mix the pineapple base
In a large bowl, combine crushed pineapple, sugar, and flour.
Stir until smooth and evenly combined.

Add the eggs and butter
Mix in the beaten eggs and melted butter.
The mixture should look thick but pourable.

Fold in the cheese
Gently stir in shredded cheddar cheese.
Make sure it’s evenly distributed.

Transfer to baking dish
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish.
Smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake until golden
Bake for 45–50 minutes.
The top should be lightly golden and set in the center.

Cool slightly before serving
Let it rest for 10 minutes.
This helps it firm up and enhances flavor.
