Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened, plus more for the pan
- 1 12-inch Cuban baguette or soft hoagie roll
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 2 1/2 slices ham (about 3 ounces)

Directions
Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter.
Slice the baguette in half lengthwise. Spread 1 tablespoon butter evenly on one half of the bread and the mustard on the other. Layer the ham, roast pork, cheese and pickles on the bottom half; close with the top.
Place the sandwich in the skillet and press down with your hands, a spatula or another skillet; cook for about 30 seconds, flip and cook on the other side until golden and the cheese is melted. Slice in half.

Make sure ingredients are room temperature before preparing. I use pulled pork from slow cooker (no BBQ Sauce!. Am told this is authentic. Cuban bread gives a better flavor than other breads. However rye hoagy rolls are a nice variation for American tastes. Baby Swiss is preferred. Black Forest ham from the deli is really good.
