Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Bread

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

  2. 2

    Layer the Meats

    On the bottom half of the bread, layer the roast pork, ham, and salami evenly.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Condiments

    Place the Swiss cheese on top of the meats, then spread the yellow mustard over the cheese. Add dill pickle slices on top.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place the top half of the Cuban bread over the filled bottom half to complete the sandwich.

  2. 5

    Butter the Outside

    Spread the unsalted butter evenly on the outside of the sandwich.

  3. 6

    Grill the Sandwich

    Preheat a panini press or skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the press or skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted, pressing down with a spatula if using a skillet.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Once toasted, remove the sandwich from the heat, slice it in half, and serve immediately.
