Here comes my German Toast Hawaii Recipe.

The still popular combination “sweet plus hearty with cheese baked on bread” comes from the German economic miracle years.

In 1955, actor and TV chef Clemens Wilmenrod, who had no cooking training at all, introduced the fast snack to German TV viewers.

There were only 3 channels 😉 Why Hawaii?

Until the 50s Hawaii was the main producer of canned pineapples (Dole Food Company) and was then replaced by the Philippines and later Thailand.

Accordingly, Mr. Wilmenrod should have called his toast creation “Toast Philippines”.

Undisputedly, Hawaii sounds more melodic and you immediately have pictures of beautiful Hawaiian girls dancing hula in mind.

That’s a nice picture when preparing and enjoying the toast…We both capture the thought and I send you hip-swinging into the kitchen.

Aloha, I wish you good luck and a good appetite!

3.2 Bread

Which bread should form the basis for you? It should have flat slices.

Here are my suggestions for you:

Box white bread
Toast / butter toast / sandwich toast (with or without grains, gluten-free…)
Brioche
Rye bread / Gerster / Mixed bread
Wholemeal bread / brown bread / egg white bread / bread with nuts

3.3 Ham

Which ham or ham substitute would you like to use?

Cooked ham / Prague ham
Air-dried raw ham such as Parma ham, Serrano ham, Tyrolean ham etc.
Smoked ham such as Black Forest ham, salmon ham, etc.
Meat sausage / Lyoner
Smoked tofu as vegetarian ham or vegan ham

Important note: Always cover the ham with cheese and pineapple. This will prevent the formation of the harmful acrylamide!
Tip from chef Thomas Sixt

Spanish Serrano ham is a great idea for a baked masterpiece.

3.4 Pineapple

The pineapple, the beautiful bromeliad fruit…

Which pineapple or other fruit would you like on your personal toast?

Fresh pineapple like the cayenne pineapple
Baby pineapple
Tinned pineapple in slices and the 50’s greet with greetings
Mango / Peach for a Karlovy Vary cut
Apple / Pear

Insider tip:

Before you put the fruits in the cheese hiding place, you can sprinkle them with a little brown sugar and caramelise them with the Crème Brûlée burner.

Gourmets place the fruits briefly in a hot pan with foamed butter, sprinkled with sugar and then flambé with rum.

You can tastefully pre-treat different fruits and create an extraordinary taste experience under the cheese hood.
