Cubano Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the Cuban bread loaf in half lengthwise.

  2. 2

    Layer the Fillings

    On the bottom half of the bread, layer the roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickles, and yellow mustard.

  3. 3

    Close the Sandwich

    Place the top half of the bread over the fillings to form a sandwich.

  4. 4

    Butter the Outside

    Spread butter on the outer sides of the sandwich.

  5. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a pan over medium heat and place the sandwich in the pan. Press down with a skillet or a heavy pan to flatten. Grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the pan, slice diagonally, and serve warm.
