Cubano Sandwich Ingredients
Method
Instructions
Prepare the Bread
Slice the Cuban bread lengthwise but do not cut all the way through, leaving a hinge.
Layer the Ingredients
Spread yellow mustard on both sides of the bread. Layer the roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, and pickle slices inside the bread.
Butter the Outside
Spread butter on the outside of the sandwich to ensure a golden, crispy crust.
Grill the Sandwich
Heat a skillet or a sandwich press over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet, and press down with a heavy pan or the sandwich press. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve
Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve hot.
