How to Make Hawaiian Ham And Swiss Sandwich

  1. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  2. Cut one red bell pepper and one green bell pepper into 8 rings each. Set aside 16 rings; finely chop the remaining peppers.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped bell peppers, 1-2 jalapeños (finely chopped – adjust to your spice preference), 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), and 1/2 cup crushed pineapple (drained). Mix well.
  4. Spread 2 tablespoons of the pineapple mixture on one side of each bread slice (approximately 8 slices).
  5. Layer 1 bread slice (spread-side up) with 1 slice Swiss cheese (about 1 ounce per slice), 1 lettuce leaf, 1/8 of a pound of thinly sliced grilled ham, 1 red bell pepper ring, 1 green bell pepper ring, and top with another bread slice (spread-side down).
  6. Cook sandwiches in the preheated skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
