Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mustard Mayo

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and yellow mustard. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Cut the Cuban bread or hoagie rolls in half lengthwise. Spread a generous amount of mustard mayo on each side.

  3. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of the bread, layer the pulled pork, sliced ham, Swiss cheese, and pickles.

  4. 4

    Close the Sandwich

    Cover with the top half of the bread. Press down gently to compact the sandwich.

  5. 5

    Toast the Sandwich

    Heat a pan or sandwich press over medium heat. Place the sandwich on the grill or in the press, and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 3-5 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve warm.
