This is a popular Schnitzel that you see on German restaurant menus and German recipe sites. The pineapple, ham and Muenster cheese gives a wonderful flavor combination.

Ingredients:
for 4 Schnitzels
1 lb of Pork loin
1/2 cup Bread crumbs
garlic powder
onion powder
paprika
salt
pepper
6 oz thin sliced ham (Black Forest ham preferrably)
6 oz
Muenster Cheese sliced
4-1/2 inch thick rings of fresh pineapple
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Bread the Schnitzel using this traditional recipe. I often I don't even use the milk mix for breading, I just dip it lightly in crumbs. This way you get way less breading.
Fry the Schnitzels till nicely brown on each side. Reserve to a large baking pan or cookie sheet.
Pan fry the pineapple in the olive oil and butter. The butter gives it
a really exceptional flavor.
Top the Schnitzels with the Muenster cheese.
brown the ham in a skillet and place on top of the cheese on the Schnitzels.
Top each Schnitzel with a slice of pineapple ring. This prep can be done ahead of time.
Pre heat the oven to 400 degrees.
Just before you serve, heat the Schnitzels till hot and cheese is melted.
The pineapple along with the cheese gives moisture to this dish like it was a sauce. The fresh pineapple makes a huge difference. There is more juice and texture.
The Hawaiian Schnitzel is great served with Pomme Fritz, (french fries), Bratkartoffeln (roast potatoes) or Spaetzle
I order from the German Deli more frequently than ever.
I try to get in bulk to make the shipping dollars count.
Also there are sales all the time I like to take advantage of.
They are nice folks. If you don't believe me call them.
