Step 1:

How do you make French-style pork with pineapple? Gather your ingredients. For the pork, go for tender, leaner cuts if you can — tenderloin, boneless loin, or leg. The olives are optional. Any cheese works — hard, semi-hard, or a soft one like mozzarella. Just make sure it's good quality, tastes great, has no milk-fat substitutes, and melts well.
Step 2:

Rinse the pork and pat it thoroughly dry. Cut it into serving pieces about ⅜ inch (1 cm) thick. Pound each piece on both sides.
Step 3:

Line a baking sheet or dish with parchment paper or foil. Arrange the prepared pork pieces on it and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 4:

Brush each piece with mayonnaise.
Step 5:

Peel the onion, slice it into rings (or however you like), and lay one ring on each piece of meat.
Step 6:

Set a pineapple ring on top of the onion and tuck an olive into the empty center.
Step 7:

Sprinkle each piece evenly with coarsely grated cheese. Put the dish into an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for 30 to 40 minutes, until the top is golden. The exact time depends on your oven.
Step 8:

Serve the French-style pork with pineapple hot. French fries, mashed potatoes, or vegetables all make great sides. For a special dinner, it pairs beautifully with a dry white wine. Enjoy!

Homemade mayonnaise is worth the effort — it tastes better and is better for you. You'll find some great homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt in place of the mayonnaise, either on their own or mixed with mayo in any ratio you like — that will cut down the calories.
You can use any other meat in place of the pork. Keep in mind that the cooking time, flavor, and calorie count will change. Beef, for example, takes longer than pork, while chicken breast or turkey takes less.
Remember that every oven is different, so your temperature and timing may vary from what's listed. For reliable results with any baked dish, it helps to know your own oven's quirks.
