BAKED PINEAPPLE

SERVING SIZE: 4 | PREP TIME: 10 MINS | COOKING TIME: 30 MINS

This is my standard sweet dish for a brunch. It goes well with crab quiche and a Caesar salad. (You can buy a delicious Caesar salad kit these days, so don’t bother making it from scratch.) I like to add smoked oysters to the Caesar salad in place of the anchovies. The flavors blend incredibly well, and it’s all so delicious. A mimosa is the perfect addition.

Ingredients

• ( 1 ) 20-ounce can pineapple chunks, drained

• 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

• 1⁄3 cup sugar

• 3 tablespoons self-rising flour

• 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, melted

• 1 (full size) roll Ritz crackers

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
   

2. Drain pineapple and pour into an 8 x 8-inch baking dish.
   

3. Combine cheese, sugar, and flour in a separate bowl and pour over pineapple.
   

4. Melt butter in a dish large enough to hold the crackers. Mash the crackers to soak in melted butter.
   

5. Pour crackers and butter over pineapple mixture.
   

6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
