Instructions

Step 1: Spread 1 tbsp unsalted butter on one side of each Cuban bread slice. Place the bread slices butter-side down on a clean surface.
Step 2: On the bottom bread slice, spread 1 tbsp Dijon mustard. Layer 4 oz sliced ham, 4 oz roasted pork, 4 Swiss cheese slices, and 4 slices dill pickles on top of the mustard.
Step 3: Cover with the remaining bread slice (butter-side up) and press gently. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
