Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed bread and crushed pineapple. Mix well.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and melted butter until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).
Pour the egg mixture over the bread and pineapple mixture. Gently stir to combine, ensuring all the bread is soaked.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake:
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
