Step 1
Slice each roll in half lengthwise. Spread butter lightly on both cut sides.
Step 2
Layer roast pork and ham on the bottom half, then Swiss cheese and pickles.
Step 3
Close each sandwich with the top half, pressing gently so the filling stays tucked.
Step 4
Heat a skillet over medium until a drop of water sizzles on contact, ~2 minutes.
Step 5
Place sandwiches in the hot skillet. Press firmly with a spatula for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy.
Step 6
Flip and press again until the other side is golden and the cheese melts, ~2 minutes. Serve hot.
