Instructions
You will also need: pastry brush, sandwich press or panini maker
Build the medianoche
Slice the roll open.
Lay the bread open and spread the top with mustard.
Layer the ham on the bottom.
Add the sliced roast pork
Add the pickles, staggered to cover almost the entire area, so that every bite contains pickle.
Top with Swiss cheese and cover with the bread.
Heat the sandwich press to medium.
Brush the top of the roll lightly with the softened butter.
Gently place the sandwich on the preheated surface and press the top down. Don’t press too hard, just place it and let the weight and gravity start flattening the sandwich. Let the sandwich cook until the bread is slightly toasted and the cheese has melted, about 7-10 minutes. Keep an eye on it and check it after 5 minutes to gauge the remaining time.
