Ingredients

• 1 large Sub roll
• 6 slices Sliced ham
• 3 slices Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Mustard
• 3 slices Pickles
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Slice the sub roll lengthwise, but do not cut all the way through, creating a hinge for the sandwich.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with mustard. Spread the mixture evenly onto the inside surfaces of the sub roll.

Step 3

Sprinkle the inside of the roll lightly with black pepper and garlic powder for added flavor.

Step 4

In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Let the butter melt and coat the pan.

Step 5

Add the ham slices to the skillet and lightly fry them for about 2-3 minutes, flipping once, until they begin to brown and crisp up slightly. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Using the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, then toast the inside of the sub roll until golden and crisp, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the roll and set aside.

Step 7

Start assembling the sandwich by layering 3 slices of fried ham onto the bottom half of the sub roll, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese. Repeat with the remaining ham and cheese slices.

Step 8

Place the assembled sandwich back into the skillet over low heat, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.

Step 9

Remove the sandwich from the skillet and add pickle slices for a tangy crunch. Close the sandwich and press lightly to secure.

Step 10

Slice the sub in half for easier handling, if desired, and serve immediately while hot. Enjoy your crispy, gooey, and delicious Big John's Fried Ham and Cheese Sub!
