Ingredients

• 12 pieces Slider buns or mini sandwich rolls
• 12 slices Deli ham
• 12 pieces Roast pork, thinly sliced
• 12 slices Swiss cheese
• 24 pieces Pickle slices
• 0.25 cup Yellow mustard
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet or panini press over medium heat.

Step 2

Slice the slider buns in half horizontally and lay them open on a clean work surface.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of yellow mustard on the bottom half of each bun.

Step 4

Layer each bun with 1 slice of ham, 1 slice of roast pork, 1 slice of Swiss cheese, and 2 pickle slices.

Step 5

Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich to assemble the Cocktail Cubans.

Step 6

Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter using a pastry brush.

Step 7

Carefully place the sandwiches into the preheated skillet or panini press. If using a skillet, use a heavy pan or spatula to press down lightly on the sandwiches.

Step 8

Toast the sandwiches for 3-5 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.

Step 9

Flip the sandwiches (if using a skillet) and toast for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until evenly golden brown and heated through.

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet or press, and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
