Hawaiian Ham & Cheese Sandwiches are loaded with pineapple, red onion, ham, cheese, and the BEST Onion-Garlic Mustard! A deluxe grilled cheese sandwich with the perfect blend of savory and sweet flavors. This Hawaiian ham grilled sandwich recipe is a delicious twist on a basic ham & cheese sandwich.
So…..spring break is just around the corner. And my kids can’t stop asking where we’re going! They’re desperate for a vacation…even if it’s just to a waterpark. Because all their friends are going somewhere. And apparently we’re the only ones who aren’t.
Ahhh, to be a parent of kids who are old enough to compare what we’re doing to what their friends are doing. Honestly, I miss the days when just taking them to the zoo or the bounce place or out for ice cream was enough. Because now…friends are going to Florida and Mexico and Hawaii! And we seriously can’t keep up.
So our plan is to do our best to have a fun “staycation”. Think it will work? Have the girls each make a list of the things they want to do and the places they want to go, and then work our way down the list? (Please say yes…it has to work!)
And instead of eating out every meal, I’m thinking it would be fun to make some fun food at home! Food from all the places we wish we were going. Starting with these Hawaiian Ham Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. We’re going to serve the Hawaiian ham sandwiches with some Hawaiian Cole Slaw.
Hawaiian Ham Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Everyone loves a good ham & cheese sandwich, but this one takes ham & cheese to the NEXT LEVEL. Because it’s loaded with grilled pineapple and red onion and the best Maui Onion & Garlic Mustard, made with onions from Kula, Maui, the home of the famous Sweet Maui Onion. And…King’s Hawaiian Sliced Bread! Which makes all the difference.
Did you know that King’s Hawaiian has an online store, where you can find SO many delicious Hawaiian products? I’m in love with the selection! And they even have Easter gift packs available so you can share the flavors of Hawaii with the people you love. I’m a huge fan of the Easter Leftover Gift Pack, which includes the yummy onion & garlic mustard, Lilikoi Jelly, Passion Fruit Wasabi Mustard, Moloka’i Coffee, and King’s Hawaiian Bread. They also have an Easter Morning Gift Pack, and they both come with the signature King’s Hawaiian re-usable tote bag. Perfect for Easter gifting and such a DELICIOUS treat!

I love staycations and that’s exactly what we did for spring break! That being said, I wouldn’t mind a trip to Hawaii. 😉 In the meantime, I’ll have to dig into one of these sandwiches!

So what’s on your staycation list?? We’re doing the same over here. I need more ideas!!
Cathy Trochelman says
Hmmmm we ended up painting pottery, going to a movie, shopping at Goodwill, going to Chuck E. Cheese, and going to the library. It’s a good thing my kids are still satisfied with simple things. 😉
Karen @ The Food Charlatan says
oh and duh, the sandwich. AMAZING!!!
Cheryl Schmeling says
There is no cheese listed in the recipe. What kind/how much do you recommend for this amazing-looking sandwich?
Cathy Trochelman says
Oh shoot! I’m so sorry, Cheryl! I used 2 slices of provolone. I will go back and add it to the recipe!
Bec @ It's Yummi says
I had NO idea that I could get King’s Hawaiian products online. Cathy, this is life changing for me, because there are a bunch of varieties of their rolls that I want to try, and I can never find them at the grocery store.
Your grilled cheese is all of my favorite pizza toppings with glorious cheesy goodness. YUM!
marcie says
I hope your staycation was a big success — I think that was a great idea! Expensive vacations just aren’t necessary to have fun! I love Hawaiian flavors and everything from the King’s Hawaiian bread down to the condiments sound amazing here. I would love this sandwich!
