When the theme was first announced, I just knew that it will be Hawaii Toast {or Toast Hawaii} for us. Toast meets ham - pineapple - and a slice of cheese. It is really good and in Germany you can find it on the menu in many restaurants. Something I grew up with,the girls so far have not not "met" Hawaii Toast.
Toast Hawaii was "invented" in 1955 by the first German TV Chef Clemens Wilmenrod. The original version includes slices of cheese {like Kraft Singles}, butter, and a maraschino cherry on top. It is sweet, creamy, and salty all at once. I loved it growing up. My Omi would make Hawaii Toast for all of us grandkids for lunch. I remember one lunch when one of my cousins was clearly upset, that the cheese of his Hawaii Toast melted into to pineapple instead of forming a dome...
So now, finally it is time for our girls to meet a dairy free version of Toast Hawaii
Dairyfree Toast Hawaii 
I decided to use Tofutti American Slices for the dairy free version; for the dairy version I used Emmenthaler {which the girls can also eat}.
As this is such an easy dish to make,and Mia Rose loves to work in the kitchen she pretty much made all of them.
Dairyfree Toast Hawaii {recipe is calculated for 4}
- 8 slices of toast {I used whole wheat}
- Earth Balance Margarine {or other vegan margarine} to "butter" the bread
- 8 large (or 16 small) slices of ham {make sure it does not have any hidden dairy}
- 8 slices of canned pineapple
- 16 slices of Vegan Tofutti American Style Slices {or Emmenthaler}
***Preheat oven to 350***
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or use individual
ovensafe dishes,
2. Toast the bread and "butter" one side of the warm bread. Put
onto baking dish,
3. Top each "buttered" toast with 1-2 slices of ham,
4. Top each toast with 1 slice of pineapple,
5. Top each toast with 2 slices of cheese
6. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes
Be careful it will be hot - enjoy!!!

Very interesting background about Hawaii Toast, Bea. Marvelous how different countries take on original creations named after other nations.
Nice to know that Tofutti cheese melts so well. And I am always grateful for a vegan dish to add to my recipe file for my food sensitive friends and hubby =)
I love Hawaii toast and I grew up with that too! I didn't know that it was created back in 1955, in fact all this time I thought it was a newer generation snack dish. They sell it all over Austria too and people love it. Thanks for sharing! =)
I've never heard of Toast Hawaii before and find it really interesting, especially how you made it dairy free too.
BTW, love the little cow logo you have on your site "No Dairy, No Whey"! Too fun and very clever :)
I never heard of Hawaiian Toast before, but I know I would like it! Wonderful recipe!
I love the flavors/pineapple in this toast! YUM!
This is so fun...and something I have never heard of. I love Hawaiian pizza, so I'm pretty sure I'd adore this...YUM!
this is the first time I'm seeing Toast Hawaii...sounds pretty darn tasty!
So simple Bea, but great flavors together at the same time. This is a great quick snack!
This is great - all the good bits of hawaiian pizza
Oh yum I love this sandwich, I ate it almost everyday when we were in Fiji. So yummy!!
I've never heard of this before. But it looks great, and the perfect retro recipe!
I've never heard of this but it sounds yummy! Love the ham pineapple combo.
Awww! I love the memories that come with this - so sweet!
Very simple, but I bet it was delicious.
I've never had Toast Hawaiian but I love pineapple with ham. It sounds like a dish the family would love.
I've never had Hawaiian toast but this is definitely something the Husband 'n I would happily devour. It's just like a Hawaiian pizza except no tomato sauce. We call a ham and pineapple pizza a "Hawaiian" in Canada. I was in Vegas in 1994 and tried ordering a Hawaiian at Pizza Hut. They stared at me like I was an alien and had no idea what I was talking about until I told them it was a ham & pineapple - lol.
Wow, I had never heard of Hawaii Toast, but am fascinated with all the history you shared. It's awesome that you can make this so well as a dairy-free version too.
Now that is retro. I hope you had Elvis "Blue Hawaii" playing while making it.
To this day my mom's favorite pizza is Hawaiian which has the ham, pineapple, and cheese. I think it must be nostalgic for her in a way because of the popularity of Toast Hawaii in Germany.
I have never heard of this, but you sold me! What a yummy combo!
Loving the concept of this dish. Such an easy snack. Looks great!
Simple and nice! I'll prefer to eat them when it's hot as I love those cheesy feeling when I bite it. Yum!
I'm going to echo everyone else and admit I've never heard of Hawaii Toast either! Reminds me of ham and pineapple pizza because of ham, pineapple, and cheese.
Sounds like a new breakfast option for me! First time hearing about Hawaii Toast, but I'm sold!
What a really unique recipe!
