Toast Hawaii is a super simple German nostalgia food at its best, invented in the 50's by bringing pineapple, ham and cheese together on toast. As a kids favorite food, we made it all the time growing up in Germany.

Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit / 180° Celsius.
Prep two baking sheets with parchment paper and place 8 slices of bread on them, next to each other.
Mince the garlic (or use my favorite garlic press), and using a fork, mix in with the butter. Add a pinch of sea salt.
Now proceed in this order: Spread garlic butter on the top of each bread slice, add one slice of ham to each bread slice, add a pineapple ring each, add the cheese on top and the Peruvian pickled peppers (optional) in the middle (they will sink down as they bake).
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and starts to brown.
Serve immediately with a green salad or on its own.
