Method

Preparing the Charred Poblano Cream Sauce

Char the Poblano

Roast the poblano pepper over an open flame until charred. Place it in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it steam for 10 minutes. Peel and chop.

Make the Sauce

In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add heavy cream, charred poblano, salt, and pepper, and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.

Cooking the Potatoes

Prepare Potatoes

Wash and cut the potatoes into small cubes. Toss with olive oil, salt, and paprika.

Fry the Potatoes

In a frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and fry until crispy, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembling the Sandwich

Layer the Sandwich

Spread yellow mustard on the Cuban bun. Layer with house porchetta, honey ham, Swiss cheese, and dill pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

Press the Sandwich

Heat a panini press or skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in and press down until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Fry the Egg

In a separate pan, fry the egg to your desired doneness.

Serving

Plate the Dish

Serve the pressed sandwich topped with the fried egg, drizzled with charred poblano cream sauce, alongside crispy potatoes.
