Lunch 25 Mins.

Ingredients

2

2 servings

  • 0.25 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup mustard
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 (8 ounce) loaf Cuban bread
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • 6 thin slices smoked fully-cooked ham
  • 1.5 cups cooked pulled pork, heated
  • 1 large dill pickle, sliced thinly lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons butter, or as needed

Instructions

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Mix mayonnaise, mustard, and cayenne together in a bowl to make sauce.
  • Trim off ends of bread. Cut loaf in half and evenly split bread to make tops and bottoms of two sandwiches.
  • Spread each half on both sides generously with mayo-mustard sauce.
  • Divide sandwich ingredients between the two bottom halves in this order: 2 slices Swiss cheese, 3 slices ham, hot cooked pork, pickle slices, and 2 more slices Swiss cheese. Place tops on sandwiches.
  • Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches in the skillet and press down with a heavy weight, such as another skillet or foil-wrapped bricks. Toast sandwiches until bread is crisp and filling is heated through, 3 or 4 minutes per side.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
