Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cuban Garlic Bread Sandwiches
  1. Preheat your oven to low broil, ensuring it's ready for toasting. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Take your submarine rolls and slice them lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Place the cut sides up on your prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter, then combine it with minced garlic, finely chopped fresh parsley, and kosher salt. Brush this garlic butter generously over the cut sides of the rolls.
  4. Place the baking sheet under the broiler and toast the rolls for about 2–3 minutes, watching closely for the tops to turn golden brown.
  5. On a clean cutting board, finely chop together pulled pork, sliced ham, halved dill pickles, and Swiss cheese. Mix in yellow mustard until well combined.
  6. Carefully scoop about 1 cup of the prepared filling into each of the warm, toasted rolls. Press down gently to ensure the filling is tightly packed.
  7. Enjoy the Cuban Garlic Bread Sandwiches immediately while they’re still warm and melty.
