I’m a Southern girl by birth. Comfort food for me is fried chicken, mashed potatoes and chocolate cake. All that stuff takes forever {and a lot of work} to make the “right” way. While I was away in Utah, we visited a place called Melt Away and the delicious grilled cheese there definitely helped erase my home sickness/missing my family.
Comfort food in a sandwich is a novel idea for me but I decided to try and recreate recipe so I had an easy go to at home.
A grilled cheese is an easy sandwich to make. H always begs for them with american cheese. The grilled cheese at Melt Away were definitely more of a “adult” sandwich though.
What You’ll Need:
– 2 slices of bread {pick a good one!}
– 2 slices deli ham
– 2 slices pepperjack cheese
– 2 slices baby swiss cheese
– butter
– 2 tsp pineapple jam
Let’s Make It:
1) Spread light layer of butter on the outside of each bread slice.
2) Layer your sandwich as follows:
– bread slice
– Swiss cheese slice
– slice of pepperjack cheese
– slice of ham
– pineapple jam
– slice of ham
– slice of pepper jack cheese
– slice of Swiss cheese
– bread slice
3) Heat pan over medium-low heat and add sandwich. Cook for 3-4 minutes {or until golden brown} and turnover. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
It may look like a simple sandwich but it has BIG flavor.
What is your favorite comfort food? Is grilled cheese a favorite in your house?
Love that you used pineapple jam in this sandwich, what a fantastic idea. Definitely want to try this 🙂

The pineapple jam was so good. I love ham and pineapple together so I was looking for ways to combine them outside of the traditional pizza. Thanks for stopping by.
Oh I make ham and cheese all the time, never thought to add the pineapple. Sounds yummy. Thanks tons for joining Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty

The idea for the pineapple came from my visit to a place called Meltaway in Utah. It was so good that I knew I just had to try it at home.
Hi Shannah! Pass the salad and dinner is ready! I love sandwiches…perhaps too much…I really have one everyday! Thank you for sharing this tropical one! I will add a little bit of dijon mustard to mine…lol. I put that on everything!
