Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh pineapple, diced (or 1 can of pineapple chunks, drained)

1 cup cooked white rice

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

½ cup brown sugar

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup crushed cornflakes

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple (or drained canned pineapple) and cooked rice. Mix well.

      In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.

        Pour the butter mixture over the pineapple and rice mixture, and stir to combine evenly.

          Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it’s distributed evenly throughout the mixture.

            Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

              Sprinkle the crushed cornflakes generously over the top of the casserole for a delightful crunch.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

                  Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving.
