Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients. Slice the Cuban bread lengthwise and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a frying pan, cook the peppercorn bacon until crispy. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Fry the Green Tomato

    In the same pan, add the slice of green tomato and fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On one half of the Cuban bread, layer the turkey, ham, provolone cheese, fried green tomato, and bacon. Drizzle with Cuban sauce and cover with the other half of the bread.

  5. 5

    Press the Sandwich

    Heat a panini press or a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the press or skillet and cook until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted, about 3-5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the press, cut in half, and serve with a side of seasoned crispy fries.
