Thinly slice the leftover roast meat into manageable pieces if not already done. Warm it up in a pan over medium heat for about 3 minutes, adding a small splash of water or broth for moisture if necessary.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and season them lightly with salt and pepper.
If using bread rolls, slice them open. If using sandwich bread, keep the slices ready. Optionally, lightly toast the bread or rolls in a pan with a dab of butter for extra flavor.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bread roll or one side of each sandwich slice. If desired, spread a small amount of mustard on top of the mayonnaise.
Layer the warmed meat evenly onto each sandwich base.
Top the meat with a slice of cheese, followed by a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a pickle slice if using.
Complete the sandwiches by placing the top half of the bread rolls or the second slice of sandwich bread on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
