- Brush pineapple slices with 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce and grill over medium-high heat until grill marks appear, about 3 minutes each side.

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once butter melts, add one sandwich and cook for 3 minutes on each side. Repeat with remaining sandwich and butter.
