Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make baked pork with pineapple and cheese? Measure out your ingredients. I'm using pork cutlets, but you can use any boneless cut. I used canned pineapple — 5 rings, one per cutlet.
Step 2:

Wash and dry the vegetables well. Slice the tomato and onion into rings. To keep your eyes from watering, wet the knife with tap water. I left the skin on the tomato, but you can peel it if you'd rather not see it in the finished dish.
Step 3:

Pound the cutlets thin on both sides. If a band of connective tissue runs along the edge of a piece, snip it in a few spots with a knife — otherwise the meat will curl up and shrink as it bakes.
Step 4:

Grate the cheese. Any hard cheese works here.
Step 5:

Season the meat with salt and pepper and lay it out on a greased baking sheet.
Step 6:

Top the meat with onion rings and pipe on a crosshatch of mayonnaise.
Step 7:

Arrange the tomato slices on top, then set a pineapple ring on each tomato.
Step 8:

Pipe on another crosshatch of mayonnaise. Here's what the assembled stacks look like.
Step 9:

Sprinkle the cutlets with grated cheese and set an olive in the center of each pineapple ring. Bake in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for about 30–35 minutes. Adjust the time and temperature to your own oven.

If you don't have ready-cut cutlets, buy a piece of boneless pork loin and slice it into portions at least 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick.
Red onion can be swapped for a regular yellow onion.
Keep in mind that every oven is different. The temperature and cooking time may vary from what's written here, so keep an eye on the dish as it bakes.
You can use any other meat in place of the pork. Just remember that the cooking time, flavor, and calorie count will change — beef, for instance, takes longer than pork, while chicken or turkey takes less.
