Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 4-3 oz. Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half horizontally
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 8 (1/2 oz.) slices reduced-fat swiss cheese
  • 4 bacon slices, cooked and halved
  • 12 dill pickle slices
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
  • 6 oz. thinly sliced less sodium ham
  • 2 oz. thinly sliced deli-roasted turkey breast

Directions

  1. Combine oil and garlic. Spread cut sides of rolls evenly with mustard. Place 1 cheese slice, 2 bacon halves, 3 pickle slices, and 1/2 teaspoon cilantro on bottom half of each roll.

  2. Divide ham and turkey evenly among bottom halves of rolls, top each serving with cheese slice and top half of roll.

  3. Brush garlic oil evenly over outside of rolls.

  4. Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 sandwiches to pan. Place a cast-iron skillet on top of sandwiches, press gently to flatten.

  5. Cook 3 minutes on each side until cheese is melted and bread is toasted. Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
