Preparation Instructions
- 1
Cook the Pork
Season the pork shoulder with salt and pepper. Slow cook it in a crockpot or oven until tender (about 6-8 hours on low in a crockpot or 3-4 hours at 300°F in the oven). Shred the pork once cooked.
- 2
Prepare the Bread
Slice the French bread loaf lengthwise, creating a pocket for the fillings.

Assemble the Sandwich
Spread mustard and mayonnaise on both sides of the bread. Layer the shredded pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, lettuce, and tomato inside the bread.
- 4
Grill the Sandwich
Heat a skillet or panini press over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet, pressing down gently. Grill until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
