That moment of bliss when licking butter from your fingers...

I salivate as I lift the feast to my lips. As I press my fingers into the grilled flesh the warmth from the juices run, tracing the palm of my hand. My mouth opens wide, my tongue gliding the guilty pleasure inward. My breathing becomes heavy and my carnivorous instinct takes over as my teeth penetrate the layers of sweet and savory. My mouth chews, my tongue pushing, my teeth grinding encouraging the orgy of flavor.



Grilled Pineapple, Ham and Cheese Sandwiches


Ingredients:


1-1/2 Pounds Brown Sugar Ham, Sliced

1 Pineapple cut length wise into 1/4” thick slices (Not from the can)

1 Loaf of Good White Bread (I use Granny Sycamores)

1 Package of Tillamook Medium Cheddar Cheese-pre sliced for convenience

2-4 Tablespoons Coconut Oil or Butter


Let’s get cookin.....


  1. Pre heat electric griddle or non stick pan.
  2. Cut pineapple to fit bread. One good slice is better than a bunch of pieces.
  3. On one side of the griddle lay slices of ham, don’t be stingy stack it up a good inch thick. Heat until juices start to flow then flip over and place one slice of the Tillamook cheese on the heated side.
  4. On the other half of the griddle melt butter or coconut oil and lay two slices of the bread down.
  5. Lay a second piece of Tillamook on one half of the bread.
  6. Place one slice of pineapple on the griddle, let heat for approximately 10 seconds then flip heating the other side.
  7. Slide cooked pineapple onto the slice of cheese that is on the bread, by stacking this way we are preventing the pineapple juices from running into the bread and making it a soggy mess, genius right.
  8. With a spatula scoop the heated ham and cheese up off the griddle and place on top of pineapple then place the second slice of bread on top.
  9. Flip and grill until golden brown.


Cut on a triangle for added flair.
