"This recipe comes from our local newspaper and I haven't tried it yet, but posting for safe keeping. With the holidays around the corner, this sounds like a easy recipe. I probably would bake the pork tenderloin a day or two early, to make slicing easier. Prep time is just an estimate."
- Ready In:
- 1hr 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:

24 sandwiches
- Serves:
- 24
ingredients
- 1 (1 -1 1/2 lb) pork tenderloin
- vegetable oil, for rub
- salt and pepper, for rub
- 24 small dinner rolls
- 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
- 1⁄4 cup yellow mustard
- 6 slices swiss cheese, quartered
- 1⁄4 lb shaved ham
- 24 thinly sliced dill pickles
directions
- Lightly rub pork tenderloin with oil, salt and pepper, and set on a rimmed baking sheet. Adjust oven rack to lowest position and set sheet on rack. Turn oven to 400 degrees and roast pork, turning once half way through, until it registers 160 degrees, about 30 minues. Let rest at least 10 minutes or up to two hours. (Roast can be prepared one or two days ahead.).
- When ready to assemble the sandwiches, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut pork into thin slices, set aside. Split rolls and arrange on bakin sheet. Mix mayo and mustard; spread thinly on both halves of each roll. Top the bottom halves in this order: cheese, pork, ham, pickle. Cap each one with a roll top. Bake until buns are toasty and cheese melts, 8 to 10 minutes. Arrange on a platter and serve warm.

So easy and yummy. I made the pork tenderloin the day before the party. My only change was to make 24 open face sandwiches. I used Hawaiian Sweet rolls cut in 1/2- layered mustard/mayo -ham-pork-cheese- pickle. When I pulled them out of the oven, I poked each one with a club toothpick, through the pickle. Enjoyed by all of the guests.

Well it is December 20, 2009 and DH and I are sitting on our lanai having a cocktail. Just got done with eating some chicken wings, courtesy of a Recipezaar recipe. They were delicious, of course.
<br>The picture above is yours truly with one of our two dogs, Fritz a Cairn Terrier. Our other pooch is Kelly, a Miniature Schnauzer. We will try and post a picture of her at a later date.
<br>I should have made my name Naturelovers, because my DH is enjoying this site as much as I do!
<br>We are retired and enjoy the outdoors here in FL, like boating, fishing, beaches and gardening.
<br>Between us we have 6 children, 8 grandchildren and 2 great-grandsons and 1 great-granddaughter on the way. I have always enjoyed cooking and Recipezaar has really opened up new horizons.
<br>I am well noted for finding a great recipe that is a big hit and then losing it. I'm hoping by joining Recipezaar, I will lose that reputation. I remember one recipe, about 48 years ago, and yes I still remember it. I found the recipe in a local newspaper and it is gone. It was for a German dish, sauerbraten, not to vinegary, no gingersnaps and served with dumplings. Oh my, was it good, but alas, gone.
