Directions:

Cut each baguette into 3 even-sized pieces. Slice the pieces lengthwise; set them aside.

In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, salt, and pepper. Spread one side of each sandwich half with the mayonnaise mixture and the other with mustard.

Layer the cheese, pork, ham, and pickles on the bread. Close the sandwiches.

Heat a sandwich press or a large cast-iron skillet. When the press or skillet is hot, butter the tops of the closed sandwiches. Place the sandwiches buttered sides down in the pan or on the press. Butter the sides facing up.

Close the sandwich press or weight the sandwiches with a second skillet. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the bottoms are golden. Turn the sandwiches and cook for 3 minutes or until the undersides are golden and the cheese is melting at the edges. Serve at once or wrap in parchment paper and eat at room temperature.
