Hawaiian Pizza Grilled Cheese Sandwich
This delicious twist on a classic grilled cheese takes the flavors of Hawaiian pizza—with its savory ham, melty cheese, and sweet pineapple—and transforms it into a warm, satisfying sandwich. Perfect for a quick lunch or a delightful snack.
Equipment
- 1 non-stick skillet or frying pan
- 1 spatula
- 1 cutting board
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 grater if using block cheese
Ingredients
- 4 slices bread Whole wheat or white.
- 4 slices ham
- 4 slices pineapple Fresh or canned, drained.
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter Softened.
- 1 tablespoon pizza sauce
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Take two slices of bread and spread 1 tablespoon of the softened butter on one side of each slice.
- On the unbuttered side of one slice, add a layer of pizza sauce, followed by a slice of mozzarella cheese.
- Place two slices of ham on top of the cheese, followed by two slices of pineapple.
- Add another slice of mozzarella cheese on top and then cover with the second slice of bread, ensuring the buttered side is facing outward.
- Repeat the process to make the second sandwich.
- Place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Press down slightly with a spatula for an even cook.
- Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool for a minute, and then slice in half before serving.
Notes
You can add some crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat if desired.
Feel free to substitute the ham for turkey or Canadian bacon for a different flavor profile.
Serve with additional pizza sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy your Hawaiian pizza grilled cheese!
