Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Pork roll (Taylor ham or similar)
- 4 slices Cheese (American, Swiss, or cheddar)
- 2 Kaiser rolls or sandwich rolls
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper (optional, for seasoning)
Instructions
Slice the Kaiser rolls in half horizontally, if not already pre-sliced, and set aside.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
Make small slits (about 2-3 cuts) along the edges of each pork roll slice to prevent curling while cooking.
Add a tablespoon of butter to the skillet, letting it melt and coat the surface evenly.
Place the pork roll slices into the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until lightly browned.
Flip the pork roll slices and immediately top each slice with a piece of cheese. Allow the cheese to melt as the pork roll finishes cooking, about 2-3 more minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining butter to the skillet and place the halved rolls cut-side down. Toast for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and lightly crisped. Remove from the skillet.
Spread mayonnaise evenly on the bottom halves of the toasted rolls. Optionally, spread Dijon mustard on the top halves if desired.
Layer two slices of pork roll with melted cheese onto each sandwich, placing them on the bottom halves of the rolls.
Sprinkle some black pepper on top, if using, then place the top halves of the rolls over the filling to close the sandwiches.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
