Hawaii Pizza Toasted Sandwich Recipe
The Hawaii Pizza Toasted Sandwich is a delicious fusion of a classic pizza and a comforting toasted sandwich. Perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner, this recipe combines the tangy sweetness of pineapple with savory ham and melted cheese, all encased in crispy, golden bread.
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of bread (preferably sourdough or your favorite sandwich bread)
- 4 slices of ham
- 4 pineapple rings (canned or fresh)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons pizza sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter (for grilling)
- Optional: a pinch of dried oregano or basil for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sandwiches:
- Spread a tablespoon of pizza sauce on one side of each bread slice.
- Place a slice of ham on the pizza sauce.
- Add a pineapple ring on top of the ham.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pineapple.
- Assemble:
- Place another slice of bread on top to close the sandwich, ensuring the pizza sauce side is facing inward.
- Butter the Bread:
- Spread butter on the outside of each slice of bread. This will help achieve a golden, crispy texture when grilled.
- Grill the Sandwiches:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Place the sandwiches on the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- If you have a sandwich press, you can use it to grill the sandwiches more evenly.
- Serve:
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute.
- Slice each sandwich in half and serve warm.
