For the Sandwich

Method

Preparing the Sandwich

  1. 1

    Slice the Bread

    Begin by slicing the Cuban bread lengthwise, keeping it attached on one side. This will create a pocket for the fillings.

  2. 2

    Layer the Ingredients

    Spread the yellow mustard evenly on both sides of the bread. Layer the roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, and dill pickles inside the bread.

  3. 3

    Butter the Outside

    Spread the butter on the outside of the sandwich to ensure a golden, crispy finish when grilling.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Preheat a grill or panini press over medium heat. Place the sandwich on the grill and press down gently. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the bread is toasted and the cheese has melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the grill, cut it in half, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Cubano!
