Preparation

Step 1

1. Mix the mayo, mustard, and garlic in a food processor until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Scrape into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes so flavors meld.
2. Preheat oven to 425 F. Heat oil in a medium oven-proof pan over high heat. Season tenderloin with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown, 8 minutes. Transfer pan to the oven, cook until an instant-read thermometer registers 150 F, 15 minutes. Remove to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest 10 minutes. Slice into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
3. Place the bread on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until slightly crisp; 5 minutes. Remove bread; turn oven to broil.
4. Place a slice of the ham, pork, and Swiss (in that order) on each slice of bread. Broil to melt cheese. Top each with 2 pickles and 1 tsp of mayo mixture. Garnish with parsley.
