Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Bread

    Begin by slicing the Cuban bread in half lengthwise to create a top and bottom for the sandwich.

  2. 2

    Layer the Meats

    On the bottom half of the sliced bread, layer the roast pork, followed by the ham and salami. Ensure that the meats are evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Condiments

    On top of the meats, place the Swiss cheese. Then add the yellow mustard and dill pickle slices evenly across the cheese.

  4. 4

    Close the Sandwich

    Place the top half of the Cuban bread over the layered ingredients to close the sandwich.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a skillet or panini press over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Butter the Bread

    Spread the unsalted butter on the outer sides of the sandwich to ensure a crispy texture when grilled.

  3. 7

    Grill the Sandwich

    Place the sandwich in the skillet or panini press. If using a skillet, press down with a spatula or heavy pan to create a nice grill mark. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the heat, slice in half diagonally, and serve hot.
