- 1/2 lb roast pork cooked and sliced
- 1/2 lb sweet ham sliced

Slice the bread horizontally. Lay it on a work surface with the open side up.
Spread mustard on half of the bread, and butter on the other half of the bread loaf. Then add roast pork and 2-3 layers of sweet ham, followed by Swiss cheese and pickles.
Season with salt and pepper. Close sandwich and wrap it in foil, then press gently.
Heat up a cast iron skillet and heat it over medium heat, then coat with olive oil. Place the assembled sandwiches on the pan and place a heavy pot or pan on top, pressing down firmly and cook for about 10 minutes (5 minutes for each side). Cook until the cheese has melted.
Remove foil from the sandwiches. Place on a platter, slice sandwiches and serve while hot.
