Ingredients

• 6 slices sliced deli ham
• 2 rings pineapple rings (preferably canned, drained)
• 2 slices Swiss cheese
• 4 slices Hawaiian sweet rolls (or sandwich bread)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Spread 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice (or sweet roll halves). These will be the outer sides of your sandwich, and the mayonnaise will help create a golden, crispy surface when toasted.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on the inner side of two bread slices (or sweet roll halves).

Step 4

Layer 3 slices of deli ham, 1 pineapple ring, and 1 slice of Swiss cheese on each sandwich. Top with the remaining bread slices, ensuring the mayonnaise side is facing outward.

Step 5

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the preheated skillet. Once melted, gently place the sandwiches in the pan.

Step 6

Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing down lightly with a spatula for an even toast.

Step 7

Flip the sandwiches and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 8

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Slice the sandwiches in half if desired and serve warm. Enjoy!
