What to do:
1. Heat oven broiler. Place bread on rack in broiling pan. Broil 4-in. from heat for 1-2 min. or until very lightly toasted. Spread mustard on toasted sides of bread.
2. Cut pork roast into 1/4-in.-thick slices. Layer slices of pork roast, ham and cheese on top of each bread slice. Broil for 2-3 min. or until cheese is melted and sandwiches are slightly heated through. Serve immediately.
