Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Bread — Opt for a bread with a sturdy texture to hold the toppings without becoming soggy.
  • Ham — Choose a high-quality ham with a good balance of saltiness and smokiness.
  • Pineapple — Use fresh pineapple rings for the best flavor, or canned pineapple rings if fresh is not available.
  • Cheese — Gouda or Emmental cheese work well for their melting properties and mild flavor.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a touch of smokiness, you can lightly grill the pineapple rings before placing them on the toast.
  • Add a sprinkle of dried oregano or basil on top of the cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Serve the Toast Hawaii with a side of mixed greens for a refreshing contrast.

Serving advice

Serve the German-inspired Toast Hawaii warm, straight from the oven, as a delicious breakfast or brunch option. It can also be enjoyed as a light lunch or snack.

Presentation advice

Arrange the Toast Hawaii on a platter, allowing the melted cheese to ooze over the sides of the pineapple rings. Garnish with a fresh sprig of parsley or a sprinkle of chopped chives for a pop of color.
