Number Of Ingredients 9

4 hoagie rolls***
8 slice thinly sliced black forest ham
8 slice thinly sliced cooked pork tenderloin
8 slice provolone cheese (or swiss)

4 Tbsp https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/dip/homemade-aioli-by-bates.html?p=1 or dukes mayonnaise
4 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
butter as needed

Steps:

1. ***You can also use bolillos, panini bread, or 4 pieces of Texas toast cut in halves.
2. Cut roll in half and open up Spread aioli or mayonnaise on one side of roll and mustard on other side (My recipe can be found under https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/dip/homemade-aioli-by-bates.html?p=1
3. Place 2 pieces of ham and 2 pieces of pork on one side of roll Overlay meat with 2 pieces of cheese (Swiss is the traditional cheese used but we like provolone better)
4. On other side of roll sprinkle sliced olives and cover with thinly sliced onion. Close up roll
5. Spread butter on both outsides of each roll Place rolls in heated Panini press or George Foreman grill and cook until cheese is fully melted and rolls are toasty brown. If you use George's grill, open up and press sandwich with spatula a couple of times so it will be "smashed".
6. If you don't have a panini press or George Foreman grill, not to worry. Just place in a heavy skillet (such as cast iron) and cook the same way you would a grilled cheese sandwich.
