▢ 1 loaf Cuban bread or soft French or Italian bread
▢ 1 pound roast pork sliced or shredded
▢ 6 slices deli ham
▢ 6 slices Swiss cheese
▢ 4 dill pickles sliced lengthwise

Instructions

Slice the bread horizontally and spread mustard on both cut sides.
On the bottom half, layer the pork, ham, Swiss cheese, and pickle slices. Close the sandwich and lightly butter the outside of the bread.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium. Add the sandwich and press gently with a spatula.
Cook for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and crisp and the cheese has melted. Slice and serve hot.
