Celebrate National Grilled Cheese Day with a Hawaiian Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Sweet, salty, smoky and of course, cheesy, this sandwich has all your favorite flavors wrapped up into one. Between two piece of multi-grain bread lie thins slices of jalapeno, pineapple and ham between cheddar cheese. If you wanted to go the extra step, you could brush the pineapple with teriyaki sauce for an extra flavor boost. For more recipe ideas, read my other blog post about this ultimate comfort food.

8 slices of multigrain bread
¼ pineapple, sliced
2 tbsp brown sugar
4 tbsp butter, divided
1 tbsp olive oil
1 jalapeno, deseeded and sliced

Assemble sandwiches by placing dividing cheese amongst four slices of bread.
Next stack some ham followed by a roughly three slices of pineapple and top with a few jalapeno slices.
