Cuban Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Slice the Cuban bread lengthwise, leaving it attached on one side. Spread yellow mustard on both sides of the bread.

  2. 2

    Layer the Ingredients

    Layer the roast pork, sliced ham, Swiss cheese, and dill pickles on the bottom half of the bread.

  3. 3

    Close the Sandwich

    Fold the top half of the bread over the fillings.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Preheat a panini press or skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on the outside of the sandwich and grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the grill, cut it in half, and serve hot.
