Hawaiian Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipes

GRILLED HAWAIIANS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spread butter onto one side of each slice of bread. Place up to 4 of the slices of bread, butter side down in the skillet. Top each piece with one slice of cheese, two slices of ham, and about 2 tablespoons of the crushed pineapple. Place remaining slices of bread on top with the butter side up. When the bottom of the sandwich is golden brown, flip sandwiches, and cook until browned on the other side, about 1 minute. Repeat steps with remaining ingredients if all four sandwiches do not fit in your skillet.

HAWAIIAN GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
• Arrange the pineapple and tomato slices on the prepared pan and bake for 12 minutes, or until the surfaces appear dry but not yet browned, turning the pieces over halfway through. Remove from the oven; set aside.
• Heat a cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
• Spread the butter on one side of each bread slice, dividing it evenly. Place two of the bread slices, buttered side down, on a clean cutting board. Layer two slices of the fontina, half of the ham, three or four slices of the roasted tomato, one or two rings of roasted pineapple, and half of the mozzarella on top of each. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes (if using). Finish with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side up.
• Using a wide spatula, place both sandwiches in the pan, cover, and cook until the bottoms are nicely browned, about four minutes. Turn carefully and cook until the second sides are browned, the cheese is melted, and the other ingredients are heated, through, about four minutes longer.
• Cut the sandwiches in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
