Peel and finely dice the onions. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan and sauté the diced onions until translucent, seasoning with a little salt, a few grinds of mixed or black pepper, a pinch of sugar, and some sweet paprika. Then deglaze with the passata, vegetable stock, and heavy cream. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Cover and simmer over low to medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Rinse the schnitzels and pat them dry. Heat 5 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan and fry the schnitzels in batches, seasoning with a little salt and a few grinds of mixed or black pepper. Then remove the schnitzels from the pan and place them side by side on a deep baking sheet. Top each schnitzel with a slice of cooked ham and a slice of pineapple. Season the tomato sauce with a little pineapple juice, if desired, and spread evenly over the pizza. Cover the pizza with a piece of aluminum foil, pressing the edges firmly around the baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven (electric oven: 175°C/convection oven: 150°C) for about 2 1/4 hours. About 45 minutes before the end of the baking time, carefully remove the aluminum foil, sprinkle the freshly grated Gouda evenly over the pizza, and finish baking. Then remove from the oven and garnish the “schnitzel pizza” with fresh marjoram. Serve with French fries, croquettes, rice, tagliatelle, or simply fresh baguette and a fresh mixed green salad.
