Ingredients
– 2 thin slices baked leg ham
– 4 large thin slices Mojo marinated pork
– 2 white baguettes, each 6 inches (15 cm) long, cut in half
– Melted butter for brushing
– American mustard
– 2 thin slices Swiss cheese
– 2 or 3 dill pickles, thinly sliced
Instructions
1-First, cook the ham and pork slices in the skillet until they’re slightly browned on each side, which should take a couple of minutes. Then, set them aside to rest while you prepare the bread.
2-Next, brush the cut sides of the baguettes with melted butter and place them cut side down in the skillet for about 2 minutes until lightly browned.
3-Now, layer the bottom halves of the baguettes with the pork, ham, cheese, and pickles, adjusting as needed to fit perfectly. Spread American mustard on the cut side of the top halves and place them on top to complete the sandwich. Don’t forget to butter the outside of both baguette halves for that crispy finish.
4-Heat the skillet to medium-high, place the sandwiches in it, and cover each with a sheet of baking paper. Weigh them down with a heavy skillet or pot, then cook for 3 minutes per side until golden brown, crispy, and the cheese is melted. Finally, let the sandwiches rest for 1 minute before cutting in half and serving immediately.
