Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf almond flour loaf
- 8 ounces sliced roast pork
- 4 ounces sliced ham
- 4 slices sliced Swiss cheese
- 2 medium dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
Instructions
Preheat the grill or a panini press to medium heat.
Slice the almond flour loaf into 8 even slices, about 1/2 inch thick each.
In a small bowl, mix together the yellow mustard and mayonnaise to create a sandwich spread.
Thinly slice the dill pickles lengthwise into 1/4 inch strips.
Spread a thin layer of the mustard-mayo mixture on one side of each bread slice.
On four slices of bread, layer 2 ounces of roast pork, 1 ounce of ham, 1 slice of Swiss cheese, and pickle strips.
Top each assembled sandwich with the remaining bread slices mustard-side down to create four complete sandwiches.
Melt the butter in a small pan over low heat.
Brush the outside of each sandwich with the melted butter.
Place each sandwich on the preheated grill or panini press.
Grill each sandwich for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the grill or press and let them cool for a minute.
Slice each sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately.
