Ingredients

  • 4 soft sweet sandwich rolls
  • 8 oz roast pork, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz cooked ham, thinly sliced
  • 6 oz Swiss cheese, sliced
  • 1/2 cup dill pickles, sliced
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Directions

  1. 1Split the sweet rolls and spread both cut sides with yellow mustard.
  2. 2Layer roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, and dill pickles on the bottom halves.
  3. 3Close the sandwiches and spread the outsides lightly with butter.
  4. 4Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat and add the sandwiches.
  5. 5Press with a second skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until crisp and melted.
  6. 6Serve hot or let cool slightly for packing.

💡 Press firmly while the sandwich cooks; compression fuses the layers and gives a Medianoche its characteristic thin, crisp exterior.
