Hawaiian French Bread Pizza

In 10-15 minutes, you can have this heavenly Hawaiian French Bread Pizza in the oven. Great dinner for busy weeknights or when you have leftover ham!

Hey there, Weary Chef readers! It’s Dee from Meatloaf and Melodrama, and I’m sharing a delicious and very easy recipe for using up any leftover holiday ham.

We’re big ham lovers here, and we eat a lot of it. My kids love having ham sandwiches for lunch, and we enjoy ham and eggs for breakfast often on the weekends. So when Christmas rolls around, I get excited because I know we’ll have plenty of leftover ham. Yep, it doesn’t take much to excite me!

So after Christmas is over, we have cheesy ham casseroles, comforting ham soup, and usually a few hot ham sandwiches. But sometimes, I just want a quick and easy dinner that doesn’t involve a lot of prep work, especially after all of the holiday cooking. Mom needs a break now and then, too! And that’s where this easy easy Hawaiian Pizza comes in.

I shared an easy recipe for Buffalo Chicken Pizza with you all a couple of months ago, but this French Bread Pizza recipe is even easier. You don’t have to pre-cook anything, so you can assemble this pizza in about 10 minutes — 15 tops! Then it takes about 10 minutes to bake, plus a little extra time under the broiler for a crispier crust.

I started off by whipping up a creamy barbecue sauce for the base. I just used my favorite BBQ sauce, which is sweet and spicy. Then, I mixed it with some heavy cream. I sprinkled lots of shredded cheese over the sauce and topped the pizza off with sliced ham and chunks of sweet pineapple. So, this pizza is just a little bit sweet, a tiny bit spicy, and salty too. My family loved it, and I hope you will too!
