Cubano Sandwich ​

Ingredients
  • 1 loaf Cuban bread
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard or to taste
  • 450 g roast pork (use Pernil, pulled pork or pork tenderloin)
  • 450 g sliced ham (glazed ham or your favorite deli ham)
  • 115 g Swiss cheese, or more to taste
  • 115 g sliced dill pickles, or to taste

Instructions ​

  1. Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Butter the bottom half with 2 tablespoons softened butter. Spread the mustard on the top half.
  2. Layer the sandwich with roast pork, sliced ham, Swiss cheese and dill pickles. Top the Cubano with the top bread slice.
  3. Slather the remaining butter over both sides of the sandwich.
  4. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the Cuban sandwich for 5-6 minutes per side, pressing it down very firmly with another pan or spatula to "press" it tightly, until warmed through and bread is nice and crispy.
  5. Remove, slice and serve.
