Smoked Cuban Pickle Sandwich

  1. The largest jar of Mt. Olive Kosher Dills will have the biggest pickles they offer (depending on season).
  2. Working one pickle at a time, slice the pickle in half lengthwise, then, using a spoon, scoop out the seeds from both halves.
  3. Build the sandwich by laying one pickle half cut side up, then layer 1 slice of ham, a portion of smoked pork, some mustard/mayo, then 1 slice of cheese. Top with other half of pickle. Repeat as desired with remaining ingredients.
