Recipe View 5 mins Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Pack half of the ham mixture firmly into the loaf pan, pressing it gently over the pineapple slices. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the ham mixture, creating a gooey, molten layer. (2 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Top with the remaining ham mixture, packing it down to seal in the cheese. Cover the loaf pan tightly with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 50 mins Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the loaf is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. (50 minutes)
