Hawaiian Toast
photo by HeatherFeather
- Ready In:
- 8mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
2-4 slices
ingredients
- 4 slices sandwich bread (any type you prefer)
- 4 slices cooked ham, thinly sliced (or use some cubed ham)
- 4 slices gouda cheese, thinly sliced (or your favorite white melting cheese)
- 4 pineapple rings (or about 1 cup tidbits)
- 4 maraschino cherries
directions
- Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Toast bread slices in a toaster.
- Place toast slices onto foil lined pan and top with 1 slice each ham, then a pineapple ring, then top with a slice of cheese.
- Pop under the broiler briefly, just until the cheese melts- watch carefully- don't let the cheese burn.
- This only takes a few minutes, depending upon your broiler, and will vary depending upon the type of cheese you use.
- Remove toast from oven- the cheese should have melted around the pineapple ring, leaving a well to place the cherries.
- Serve immediately.
- NOTE: Some folks spread their toast with a little mayo, Miracle Whip, or butter before topping with the ham- by all means do so if you wish.

Heather Feather this is one fine dish! I made it for my kiddo, using mozzarella cheese, and she loved it (first the cuteness, then the yumminess.) She said she wouldn't change a thing and when asked for a rating, she gave it a 5 1/2. I snuck a bite and thought it was a wonderful flavor combination, and secretly wanted to finish it off!

I also remember ordering this many times from restaurants in Germany. My favorite was a little place in Ansbach, Germany that we would get this and their famous cheese soup that they served in bread bowls. This is such comfort food for me, completely authentic. It brought back many memories, thank you.

I had this for the first time as a child in a restaurant near Disneyland. I fell in love with the dish and ordered it every day we were there (I begged to return to the same place repeatedly.) I've made it with cheddar and no cherries, and it's still good - an excellent quick sandwich. I've also grilled the bread rather than toasting it, and that's good too.
