Prepare the Croque Monsieur

Spread butter on one side of the bread slices.
On the unbuttered side of a slice, add a slice of ham, two slices of cheese and a slice of pineapple.
Cover with a second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.

Cooking

Heat a griddle pan or sandwich toaster over a medium heat.
Cook the croques for 3–4 minutes on each side, until the cheese has melted and the bread is golden and crisp.
Time range: choose the first timer to check progress or the last for the end of the stated time.
For a large group, keep the cooked croques in an oven at no more than 100°C while you cook the rest.

Serving

Cut each croque diagonally for a neat presentation. Add an extra slice of pineapple on top if you like.
Serve straight away, on a small wooden board if you like, with a small salad.
