📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a small bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the Mojo mayonnaise. Set aside.
2
Heat a large cast iron skillet or griddle pan over medium heat and toast the cut side of each roll, just until lightly crusty, about ⏱️ 3 minutes - this will help prevent the sandwich from getting too soggy.

3
Liberally spread the mojo mayo on the toasted rolls, followed by as much mustard as you’d like. Layer with 2 slices of cheese, 1/4 of the pickles, 2 slices of ham, 1/2 cup of pulled pork, and then 2 more slices of cheese.
4
With the cast iron pan or griddle on medium heat, add some butter to the pan and add the sandwiches. Press the sandwiches down with another heavy pot or sandwich weight to help get a good crust on the bread and press the ingredients of the sandwich together. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about ⏱️ 3 minutes. Lightly smear some butter on the tops and then flip the sandwich and replace the pot or weight on top and cook for another ⏱️ 2-3 minutes, or until brown and crispy.
