Hawaiian Grilled Cheese: These grilled cheese dippers have comfort written all over them!  

Hawaiian Grilled Cheese | A Latte FoodSundays were made for things like chocolate cake, cheesy pizza, all the coffee lattes, and major relaxation/vegging with books, TV shows, and all the pinteresting.

And grilled cheese, of course. Lots and lots of grilled cheese. This weekend we’re having a lot of cheese with our bread. Actually, allllll of the cheese please, because grilled cheese is not the time for holding back the calories. There’s a time and a place for healthy eating, like with this recipe, and this one, and this one too.

But when it comes to grilled cheese, umm, more cheese please.

Hawaiian Grilled Cheese | A Latte Food Hawaiian Grilled Cheese | A Latte FoodI love a good, classic grilled cheese. Sometimes you can’t beat a toasted cheesy sandwich. And when dipped (which is so easy when the grilled cheese is sliced in strips) in soup? It’s the complete rainy day meal.

However, I love taking the classic and turning it into something out of the box, like this Lasagna Grilled Cheese. Today, though, I was in the mood for the tropics. A little aloha oasis, if you will, with this Hawaiian grilled cheese. I’ve never had the opportunity to visit Hawaii, and I have a feeling this probably isn’t classic Hawaiian fare, but I felt a little tropical eating this.

Hawaiian Grilled Cheese | A Latte FoodThe components of this sandwich are: cheese (cheddar and pepperjack, to be exact), smoked ham, canadian bacon (or turkey bacon or pork bacon), and pineapple. I used regular sandwich bread, as it was all I had on hand, but this would be perfect with sourdough bread or Texas toast.

To make this grilled cheese, all you do is butter one side of each bread, layer the sandwich with cheddar cheese, ham, canadian bacon, pineapple, and pepperjack cheese. Cook on med/low heat until golden brown. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melty.
