- To assemble sandwich, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom bun. Top the bottom bun with a layer of mojo sauced pork, then a layer of ham, pickles and Swiss cheese. Spread yellow mustard on the interior of the top bun, and place top bun on sandwich.
- Preheat a cast iron pan to medium high, place sandwich in pan and press down gently but firmly with another heavy pan or grill press. Cook 3-4 minutes per side until sandwich compresses, cheese melts and bread gets very crispy. Alternately, preheat an electric panini press to medium-high, place sandwich in and close the top of the press firmly so the grids contact the sandwich to compress it and cook 4-5 minutes.
