Cuban Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Cuban Sandwich Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the Cuban bread lengthwise without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket.

  2. 2

    Layer the Ingredients

    Spread yellow mustard 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 butter evenly on the outside of the bread.

  4. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Preheat a pan or sandwich press over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and press down with a spatula or a weight. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat, let cool for a minute, then slice and serve while warm.
