    The Hawaiin Breakfast Sandwich: The flavor combination will blow your mind! Sweet and salty are delicious on a Hawaiian bun!

    I’m about ready to rock your world with a sandwich that not only “wowed,” my family, but was so incredibly easy to make. It has turned out to be one of our favorites, along with this fun breakfast egg roll recipe!

    OMG YUUM!!! Ham, Pineapple, Egg and pepperjack cheese, on a Hawaiian bun!

    Why you’ll love these sandwiches

    With only a few ingredients, this sandwich can be created in no-time, but also fill up your family. Have you ever been to a restaurant, and happen across an item on the menu that has rare ingredients, or a combination of ingredients that makes you go, “Whaaa!?”

    That’s how I feel when I think about this sandwich. From the moment of experimentation, I’ll admit… I was thinking, “This can either go really bad, or be surprisingly amazing.” Well if it wasn’t surprisingly amazing, then I wouldn’t be sharing this recipe with you today.

    My husband? You better BELIEVE he loved it. He loves an over-easy egg on a hamburger or on a fried bologna breakfast sandwich, so I knew he’d love an egg on a hot ham sandwich. The pineapple??? I wasn’t sure he’d go for it… but he did, and fell in love.

    Ingredients we used:

    (Full Recipe Below)

    • Honey Ham
    • Pepperjack Cheese
    • Pineapple Ring
    • Over-easy eggHawaiian Buns

    For a family of four: Use 4 buns, 8-12 slices of ham, 4 slices of cheese, 4 pineapple rings, and 4 eggs.

    It’s not just for breakfast:

    Although it’s made with an egg, you may be thinking, “Breakfast.” Well, it would be absolutely delicious for breakfast. But we even love this for lunch, or dinner! (Or a midnight snack, when we get on a Netflix binge watching kick.)

    Tutorial:

    If you saw my “Best Cheeseburger Recipe,” video tutorial, then you know I’m a firm believer in toasting buns. Either butter the insides of your bun, and toss on the skillet for about 30 seconds, or coat the skillet with butter, and toast the buns a bit. Set aside.

    OMG YUUM!!! Ham, Pineapple, Egg and pepperjack cheese, on a Hawaiian bun!

    Next, fry your ham in the skillet, and top it with cheese a minute or so right before you plan to take it off. (To allow the cheese to melt on top of the ham a bit.) Top the bottom slice of your Hawaiian bun.

    This is when you can place a pineapple ring, right on top of the ham/cheese, or you can place the pineapple ring in to the skillet for a bit, to allow it to heat up/sear. Either way, it’s delish.

    In the same skillet, (toss in a little more butter if necessary), and fry your egg “over-easy.” When it has completed frying, place it on top of the pineapple.

    OMG YUUM!!! Ham, Pineapple, Egg and pepperjack cheese, on a Hawaiian bun!

    Place the top bun on, and gently push down, allow the bun to slowly “pop,” the egg so the yolk will slightly flow out on to the rest of the sandwich.

    I’m not going to lie… my mouth is completely watering, writing that last step.

    OMG YUUM!!! Ham, Pineapple, Egg and pepperjack cheese, on a Hawaiian bun!

    It’s a sandwich that your family may say, “Huh?” But that left my family saying, “Yum.”

    For the new year, I pledged to start cooking more at home. We were ALWAYS eating out, and literally throwing money down the drain. But I LOVE food, so I struggled with not being able to try new things all of the time. So I decided to try new recipes at home, and I must say… if we can save money, AND eat amazing things like this Hawaiian sandwich… I don’t know if we’ll ever choose to eat out, over eating at home again. Making 4 of these for my family of 4, took hardly any time at all!

    OMG YUUM!!! Ham, Pineapple, Egg and pepperjack cheese, on a Hawaiian bun!

    Side Note:

    When I started eating this sandwich for the first time I took a bite and immediately ran over to my camera to capture this gloriousness of the egg yolk dripping down over the meat, cheese & pineapple. Oh.My.Gosh. So, so good.

    I found the Castle Wood Reserve® Honey Ham at Walmart near the deli. They have a full line of deli meats, and when preparing a meat/cheese tray, it’s a favorite to use, because of the quality of the flavor.
