Cubano Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Cubano Sandwich Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the Cuban bread in half lengthwise.

  2. 2

    Layer the Fillings

    Spread yellow mustard on both sides of the bread. On the bottom half, layer the sliced ham, shredded pork, Swiss cheese, and pickles.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place the top half of the bread over the fillings, pressing down gently to compact the sandwich.

  4. 4

    Butter the Outside

    Spread butter on the outside of the sandwich.

  5. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a panini press or skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the press or skillet and cook until the bread is crispy and golden brown, and the cheese is melted, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the heat, slice in half, and serve warm.
