Hawaiian Ham Sandwich

I like those sweet Hawaiian rolls and recently saw that Sara Lee makes sliced Hawaiian bread:

This gave me an idea. How about a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with pineapple?

These were an absolute hit with my family!

Hawaiian Ham Sandwich

Ingredients

2 slices Sara Lee sliced Hawaiian bread
1 slice American cheese
1 slice cheddar cheese
1 slice thick deli ham
1 slice canned pineapple
2-4 tbsp butter

Instructions

Spread one side of each slice of bread with a generous amount of softened butter.
Heat tablespoon of butter in skillet over medium heat.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down in pan.
Layer in this order: American cheese, ham, pineapple slice, cheddar slice.
Top with other slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook until lightly browned, flip sandwich and brown on the other side.

I used a slice of American cheese because of its good melting abilities and a slice of sharp cheddar for the flavor. But you could use whatever cheeses you like or happen to have on hand. Gouda, Monterey Jack, Velveeta…

For the ham I used a relatively thick sliced deli ham. You could use thinner slices and double up. And keep this recipe in mind for those ham leftovers after the holidays.

I served these delicious sandwiches with a simple, homemade coleslaw for a quick but tasty meal. Other options for sides include:

Potato Salad

Asian Pasta Salad

Crunchy Broccoli Slaw Salad
