Ingredients:
- 1 fresh pineapple, cut into 1/2 inch thick slices; then cut slices in half
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 tablespoon margarine
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 chive & onion cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups sliced turkey
- 6 cheese slices
- 12 slices bread (of your choice)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Pineapple: Start by cutting the fresh pineapple into 1/2 inch thick slices, then cut the slices in half.
-
Saute Pineapple: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the pineapple slices and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
-
Prep Bread and Cream Cheese: While the pineapple is cooking, spread the chive & onion cream cheese evenly on each half of the bread slices.
-
Layer Ingredients: Once the pineapple is ready, it’s time to assemble the sandwiches. On the bottom halves of the bread slices, layer the sautéed pineapple, sliced turkey, and cheese slices evenly. Then, top with the remaining bread halves to form sandwiches.
-
Wrap and Bake: Wrap the assembled sandwiches in foil and preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the wrapped sandwiches in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted to gooey perfection.
-
Serve: Once baked, carefully unwrap the sandwiches and cut them into individual servings. Serve hot and enjoy the flavorful explosion with every bite!
