1
Prepare the Cuban Bread
Slice the Cuban bread loaves in half lengthwise.
2
Layer the Ingredients
On the bottom half of each loaf, spread yellow mustard evenly. Layer with lechon asado, followed by slices of ham and Swiss cheese. If desired, add pickles on top of the cheese.

3
Butter the Outside
Spread butter on the outer sides of each sandwich for a golden crust.
4
Heat the Grill or Pan
Preheat a skillet or panini press over medium heat.
5
Grill the Sandwich
Place the sandwich on the skillet or press and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is crispy and the cheese has melted.

6
Slice and Serve
Once grilled to perfection, remove the sandwich from the heat. Slice diagonally and serve warm.
