  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare your oven-safe skillet.
  2. In the skillet, pour in the whipping cream, add the cream cheese and yellow mustard. Heat over medium heat for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  3. Add the prepared pulled pork, sliced ham, half of the dill pickles, and half of the shredded Swiss cheese to the skillet. Mix gently.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly in the skillet, top with the remaining shredded Swiss cheese and dill pickles. Bake for 20 minutes.

Notes

For best results, ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to prevent clumps. This dish pairs well with a light salad or roasted vegetables.
