Ham Pineapple Sandwiches image

I found a recipe for Pineapple Sandwiches on white bread that was far too sweet. I put some ham on it, and put it on whole grain bread for a slightly healthier alternative that is not nearly so sweet!

1 cup white sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons milk
24 slices whole-grain bread
60 thin slices deli ham

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapple. A ripe pineapple will be sweet and juicy, with a slightly tangy flavor. Look for a pineapple that is golden yellow in color, with no green spots. The leaves should be green and fresh-looking.
  • Use high-quality ham and cheese. The quality of the ham and cheese will make a big difference in the taste of your sandwich. Look for ham that is thinly sliced and has a good flavor. The cheese should be a good melting cheese, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you are cooking the sandwiches, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the sandwiches from cooking evenly. Cook the sandwiches in batches if necessary.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately. Pineapple ham and cheese sandwiches are best served immediately after they are cooked. The bread will be crispy and the cheese will be melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Pineapple ham and cheese sandwiches are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover ham and pineapple. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and satisfying sandwich that the whole family will enjoy.
