Gather @baguette{1}, @pork loin{200%g}, @cooked ham{100%g}, @gruyère cheese{100%g}, @dill pickle{4%slice} and @yellow mustard{2%tbsp}.

Split the loaf lengthwise and spread the mustard over both cut faces.

Layer the ham, then the pork, then the cheese, then the pickles across the bottom half, and close the sandwich.

@butter{20%g} both outer faces of the bread.

Press the sandwich in the medium pan under a weight — a second heavy pan works — until the bottom is golden and the cheese starts to melt, 4–5 minutes. ~{270%seconds}

Flip and press the second side until golden and the cheese is fully melted, another 4–5 minutes. ~{270%seconds}

Slice on the diagonal and serve hot. Cafecito optional but advised.
