In a medium bowl, add the cream cheese and use a spoon or spatula to soften it until smooth and spreadable.
Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple to ensure it is evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese.
Add the finely chopped ham and stir it into the mixture to combine well.
Mix in the green onions, mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper, making sure the filling is well blended and has a creamy texture.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Once chilled, use the filling to spread on your choice of bread for tea sandwiches. Trim crusts and cut sandwiches into small triangles or squares for serving.
