Cooking in the oven
Making delicious sandwiches with pineapple and cheese in the oven is easy! The most successful recipe in this case would be one in which among the ingredients there is boiled meat: beef or chicken. In the absence of such components in the refrigerator, you can use the same ham.
This kind of sandwiches is made in a closed manner, so you need to take twice as much bread. So, for six servings of snacks you will need canned pineapple (can), hard cheese (about 200 g), boiled meat (300 g), bread (12 slices), butter (70 g).
It is better to dry the bread a little beforehand in a pan. After the slices have cooled, butter is spread on them, a small amount of finely chopped meat, a pineapple ring and a small piece of cheese are spread on top. The sandwich is covered with another piece of bread and sent to the baking sheet.
The oven is preheated to 180 ° C. Bake the appetizer until the cheese begins to melt. You need to eat the dish in a warm form.
With pomegranate
Pomegranate grains, hard cheese and pineapple go well together. That is how many culinary experts decided and ... turned out to be right. From these components you can cook an unusual, beautiful and very edible snack. Still need bread and butter.
It is for these sandwiches that canned pineapples in the form of rings are suitable. With pieces of fruit, the dish will not reveal all its originality.
How to start cooking sandwiches with pineapple in the oven? Of course, with slicing bread. Do not forget about the oven: it is better to preheat it in advance.
For this dish, it is better to take a baguette. Slices can be pre-fried in a pan. After that, they are cooled, evenly greased with butter and put on a baking sheet. For each piece of bread, lay out a pineapple ring and a thin piece of hard cheese, which should completely cover the fruit and even slightly protrude beyond its edges.
In the center of the sandwich, where the pineapple hole is located, it is necessary to put several pomegranate seeds. After that, a baking sheet with sandwiches can be sent to the oven. As soon as the cheese begins to melt, it will completely “envelop” the pineapple, and pomegranate seeds will fall into its center. At this point, pineapple sandwiches can be taken out of the oven.

To prepare such a delicious snack, you need to take mozzarella cheese (250-300 g), prunes (about 100 g), a jar of pineapple slices, smoked chicken breast (400-500 g), baguette, butter and greens (to taste).
