Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Sliced ham
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 rings Fresh pineapple rings
- 4 slices Bread (sliced, preferably sourdough or Hawaiian)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey until well combined. Set aside.
Lightly butter one side of each bread slice. Place two slices butter-side down on a clean surface or cutting board.
Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly on the unbuttered side of the bread slices.
Layer one slice of Swiss cheese, two slices of ham, and one pineapple ring onto each piece of bread with the mayonnaise spread. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the pineapple for extra flavor.
Top each sandwich with the second slice of bread, butter-side up, to close the sandwich.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches carefully onto the hot skillet, butter-side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your Island Inspired Grilled Ham Sandwich!
