Hawaiian Grilled Cheese

My absolute favorite pizza toppings are ham and pineapple.  Growing up, I was the only one who liked this combination, so it was very rare that I got to enjoy these toppings unless we were making homemade pizzas.  Now I'm lucky because Mike's dad also enjoys Hawaiian pizza, so when we order pizzas as a family, we always get a Hawaiian!

I have to admit though, I had never thought of making a Hawaiian Grilled cheese.  This immediately became my choice of our grilled cheese night!  I was thrilled with this combination and I thought it was delicious.  Like the Pizza Grilled Cheese I shared on Monday, this one also tasted great dipped in pizza sauce.
