Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 8 mins Ready Time: 23 mins


• split the sandwich rolls in half, and spread mustard and mayonnaise liberally the cut sides. on each sandwich, place and equal amount of swiss cheese, ham and lamb in exactly that order. place a few pickles each one, and put the top of the roll the sandwich. brush the tops with melted butter.
• press each sandwich in a sandwich press heated to medium-high heat. if a sandwich press is not available, use a large skillet over medium-high heat, and press the sandwiches down using a sturdy plate or skillet. some indoor grills may be good for this also. cook for 5 to 8 minutes, keeping sandwiches pressed. if using a skillet, you may want to flip them once for even browning. slice diagonally and serve hot.
