Toast Hawaii is a popular dish in Germany, especially for breakfast or brunch. It is a sweet and savory dish that is easy to make and can be customized to suit individual tastes. The toast can be white or brown, and the ham can be replaced with bacon or turkey. Some people like to add a maraschino cherry to their Toast Hawaii for extra sweetness. It is a filling and satisfying dish that is perfect for a lazy weekend morning.

Presentation and garnishing
To make the dish look more visually appealing, cut the pineapple into small pieces and arrange them in a decorative pattern on top of the ham and cheese. Garnish with a sprig of parsley or a slice of tomato for added color.
