Method
- 1
Split the rolls. Spread the cut sides with mustard.
- 2
Fill each roll with pork, ham, cheese and pickle slices. Close them.
- 3
Spread the outside of the rolls with butter.
- 4
Heat a frying pan over a medium low heat. Cook the sandwiches in batches, pressing them flat with a heavy pan.
- 5
Cook for 3 minutes each side until golden and the cheese has melted. The sweet bread browns quickly, so keep the heat gentle.
6 min - 6
Rest for 1 minute, halve and serve warm.
