Toast Hawaii 2.0

This is a deluxe version of a very old German classic from 1953.



Now it is mostly forgotten. It was a kind of TV Dinner and people liked it as something exotic. It was presented during a TV show. But there was only 1 channel to watch. Not much to choose from.

My Mom made this sometimes. It was fast and cheap. Especially when used canned pineapple and plastic wrapped American orange colored cheese.

My version is a bit different:

Brioche bread slices

Salted butter from France with salt crystals in

Good quality cooked ham

Fresh pineapple

Bavarian mountain cheese block

Paprika powder

I lightly toasted the brioche and buttered it. A slice of ham and a 3 cm thick slice of fresh pineapple.

From the square block of cheese, 0,5 cm slices were laid side by side on top of the pineapple. Some paprika dusted on top.

Baked at 180 C fan until the cheese is completely melted.
