Ingredients

4 torta rolls baguettes or hero rolls, split lengthwise
2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
½ pound thinly sliced cooked ham
½ pound Cuban Mojo-Marinated Pork or store-bought roast pork
¼ pound thinly sliced Gruyere Cheese
6 dill pickles sliced, plus 4 teaspoons pickle juice
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Brush each top bread slice with 1 teaspoon pickle juice and mustard, then layer on the ham, pork, cheese, and dill pickles.
Brush the top and bottom of the sandwich with melted butter and place on a baking sheet. Place a second baking sheet on top of sandwiches and press lightly. Place a large cast-iron skillet on top of baking sheets to press.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until bread is golden and cheese is melted. Let cool slightly, then slice each sandwich into small appetizer sized pieces and serve.
