Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the Cuban bread lengthwise, leaving one side intact to create a hinge.

    Spread yellow mustard on the inside of the bread. Layer the sliced ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese, and pickles inside the bread.

  3. 3

    Butter the Outside

    Spread butter on the outside of the sandwich.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a pan or sandwich press over medium heat. Place the sandwich on the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve immediately.
