Ingredients

  • 4 hoagie rolls or 12-oz. baguette
  • 4 Tbsp yellow mustard (60g)
  • 4 Tbsp light mayo (60g) optional
  • 6 oz. Swiss cheese
  • 6 oz. good quality deli ham
  • 2 cups Cuban-Style Mojo Pulled Pork (400g)
  • 8 sliced pickle spears
  • cooking spray for grilling

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Slice rolls or baguette down the middle to make a top and bottom half. If using a baguette, first cut into 4 equal loaves.
  2. Spread a tablespoon of mustard and mayo on both sides of the bread.
  3. To the bottom half, layer as follows: 1 slice cheese, 1 slice ham, 1/2 cup pulled pork (100g), pickles, 1 slice cheese. Then add the top slice of bread. Repeat for all the sandwiches, you can also make them one at a time when ready to eat.
  4. Spray both sides of the sandwich with cooking spray (or spread with butter). Working 1-2 sandwiches at a time, grill sandwich in a grill pan, panini grill or skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown. Sear both sides, pressing down very firmly. Cover if needed to melt the cheese.
  5. Remove from heat. Transfer to a cutting board to slice in half then enjoy!

Notes

  • Sandwich tip! If you like want to avoid soggy bread, I highly recommend broiling the pork or frying it up in a hot skillet before adding to your sandwich to help the juice to evaporate. Trust me this extra step takes just a few minutes and makes the pork even MORE flavorful!
