Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Slider buns or mini sandwich rolls
- 12 slices Deli ham
- 12 pieces Roast pork, thinly sliced
- 12 slices Swiss cheese
- 24 pieces Pickle slices
- 0.25 cup Yellow mustard
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or panini press over medium heat.
Slice the slider buns in half horizontally and lay them open on a clean work surface.
Spread a thin layer of yellow mustard on the bottom half of each bun.
Layer each bun with 1 slice of ham, 1 slice of roast pork, 1 slice of Swiss cheese, and 2 pickle slices.
Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich to assemble the Cocktail Cubans.
Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter using a pastry brush.
Carefully place the sandwiches into the preheated skillet or panini press. If using a skillet, use a heavy pan or spatula to press down lightly on the sandwiches.
Toast the sandwiches for 3-5 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
Flip the sandwiches (if using a skillet) and toast for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until evenly golden brown and heated through.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet or press, and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a flavorful appetizer or snack.
