Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 rolls Cuban bread or sturdy sandwich rolls
- 1 cup Fresh goat cheese
- 1 pound Roasted pork, thinly sliced
- 8 slices Deli ham, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Dill pickles, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
Slice the Cuban bread or sandwich rolls in half lengthwise and lightly toast the cut sides to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
Spread 1 tablespoon of fresh goat cheese evenly onto the bottom half of each bread roll.
Layer the roasted pork and ham evenly across the goat cheese for all 4 sandwiches.
Top the meats with thinly sliced dill pickles, dividing them equally among the sandwiches.
Spread 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard onto the inside top half of each roll and close the sandwiches.
Lightly butter the outside of both the top and bottom of each sandwich roll to ensure a golden, crisp crust during pressing.
Heat a sandwich press, griddle, or skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, place a heavy pan or foil-wrapped brick on top of the sandwiches to press them down.
Cook each sandwich for 3–5 minutes per side, until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is slightly melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the heat and let them rest for 2 minutes. Slice each sandwich in half diagonally and serve warm with your favorite side dish.
