Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Hoagie roll
- 6 slices Deli-sliced ham
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 slices Dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the hoagie roll lengthwise, without cutting all the way through, to create a hinged sandwich roll.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together until well combined. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Spread the mustard mayo evenly on the inside of the hoagie roll.
Layer 3 slices of ham on the bottom half of the roll, followed by 1 slice of Swiss cheese. Repeat with another layer of 3 slices of ham and 1 slice of Swiss cheese.
Add the dill pickle slices on top of the cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Close the hoagie roll carefully and lightly press it down to help the ingredients stay in place.
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely, swirling to coat the surface of the pan.
Place the sandwich into the pan. Press it gently with a spatula or a heavy skillet to flatten slightly as it cooks.
Grill the sandwich for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwich from the pan, let it rest for 1-2 minutes, and then slice it in half for easy serving.
