Ingredients

4 small veal cutlets (about 2 oz. each), pounded to 1/4 to 1/8-inch thickness
1-1/2 tsp. adobo seasoning
4 hero rolls (about 5-6 inches long), split
2 Tbsp. + 2 tsp. yellow mustard
4 slices thinly sliced honey baked ham
12 dill pickle slices (about 2 ½ oz.)
4 slices thinly sliced Swiss cheese

Instructions

Sprinkle each side of veal with some adobo seasoning. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill or use grill pan on top of stove over medium heat. Grill veal cutlets 2 to 4 minutes, turning once. Remove cutlets to platter.
Spread bottom and top of each roll with 1 tsp. mustard. Layer on bottom half of each roll sliced ham, veal cutlets, 3 pickle slices and Swiss cheese. Cover each bottom with roll top.
Wrap each sandwich in foil. Place sandwiches on grill or on grill pan. Place a panini press or heavy skillet on top of sandwiches to weigh/press them down. Grill sandwiches 8 to 10 minutes until cheese melts and bread is toasted. Carefully unwrap each sandwich and cut in half; place on plate. Serve with shoestring fries, if desired.
