Description

The flavors of Hawaiian Pizza rolled into a pineapple for serving.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large pineapple
  • 2 slices of Canadian bacon (McMuffin sized)
  • 10 pepperoni (standard pizza sized)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 Tbs canned green chiles
  • 2 Tbs 2% milk
  • dash of garlic salt
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 red onion
  • Additional 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Halve one pineapple and scoop out the insides of both halves, reserving 1/2 cup worth of chopped pineapple chunks to be used later as topping.
  2. Small dice 10 pizza sized pepperoni and 2 slices of Canadian bacon.
  3. Also small dice 1/4 of a red onion and set aside.
  4. Put a saucepan over medium high heat and add in 4 ounces cream cheese, 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese, 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 Tbs canned diced green chiles, 2 Tbs milk, a dash of garlic salt and 1 tsp oregano. Stir over the heat until the cheeses melt and you have a smooth cheese sauce.
  5. Add in pepperonis and diced Canadian bacon and stir to combine.
  6. Pour the pepperoni/ham cheese sauce evenly divided into each half of the pineapple.
  7. Spread 1/4 cup of your favorite pizza sauce on top of the cheese sauce of both halves, then top with 1/2 cup divided shredded mozzarella cheese, pineapple chunks, and diced red onions.
  8. Place the pineapple halves on a sheet pan and cook in the upper 1/3 of your oven under the broiler for 5 minutes, or until the mozzarella on top is bubbling. Fair warning, make sure the fronds don’t touch the heating element.
  9. After that, remove from the oven and serve with crackers.
