¼ cup pizza sauce

# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat.
02 -
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
03 -
Place one slice of bread, butter side down, onto the heated griddle. Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the bread. Layer 2 slices of Canadian bacon, 2 pineapple rings, and 2 slices of Cheddar cheese on top. Place another slice of bread on top, butter side up.

Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom slice is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwich over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.
05 -
Remove from the skillet and place on a cutting board. Repeat the process for the second sandwich. Let the sandwiches cool slightly, then cut in half if desired.
06 -
Serve warm and savor the delicious balance of sweet pineapple, savory bacon, tangy pizza sauce, and gooey melted cheese.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Pineapple Prep: Be sure to pat the pineapple dry to prevent excess moisture from making the sandwich soggy.
02 -
Cheese Options: Swap Cheddar for mozzarella or provolone for a more classic pizza flavor.
03 -
Bread Choices: Sourdough adds a nice tangy crunch, but white or whole wheat bread works great too.
04 -
Extra Crispy Tip: Press down gently with a spatula while cooking for an extra crispy texture.
