Pineapple and Cheese Grilled Sandwich
by Tarla Dalal
Pineapple and cheese are made for each other. With contrasting textures and absolutely complementary flavours, each helps to highlight the best qualities of the other. The cheese seems to enhance the sweetness of the pineapples, while pineapple extends the same courtesy to the cheese!
This grilled sandwich capitalises on the success of this duo. Everything about the Pineapple and Cheese Grilled Sandwich is awesome, right from the buttery crispness of the bread to the gooeyness of molten cheese and the juicy sweetness of pineapples. Relish it hot and fresh.
