Why It Works
Grilling the sandwich melts the cheese into a glue that holds the pulled pork in place. A hot buttered skillet crisps the bread in minutes.
Quick Fixes
Filling falling out: don't overfill; press gently while grilling.
Bread not crisping: use enough butter and keep the heat at medium.

Avo's Tip
Press down gently with a spatula while grilling so the sandwich holds together when sliced.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you start cooking.
• Can I use any pulled pork?
Yes. Leftover Slow Cooker Pulled Pork or BBQ Pulled Pork both work well.
• What cheese melts best?
Sharp cheddar is classic; Monterey Jack or pepper jack also work.
• Is the coleslaw necessary?
No, but it adds a nice crunch and tang against the rich pork and cheese.
