Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Cuban bread
- 0.5 pounds Roast pork
- 0.5 pounds Cooked ham
- 0.25 pounds Swiss cheese
- 4 slices Dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Slice the Cuban bread loaf in half lengthwise to create a top and bottom piece.
Spread a thin layer of yellow mustard evenly onto the cut sides of both bread halves.
On the bottom half of the bread, layer the ingredients in the following order: roast pork, cooked ham, Swiss cheese, and pickle slices. Place the top half of the bread onto the sandwich.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the outside top of the sandwich and 1 tablespoon on the bottom side.
Preheat a skillet or sandwich press over medium heat. If you’re using a skillet, place the sandwich in the skillet and press it down with a heavy object, such as another skillet or a foil-wrapped brick.
Cook the sandwich for 4-5 minutes on one side, until the bread is golden and crisp, and the cheese begins to melt.
Flip the sandwich (if using a skillet) and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes, until equally golden and crisp.
Once the sandwich is fully toasted and heated through, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a minute.
Slice the sandwich into halves or quarters, and serve warm. Enjoy your authentic Miami Cuban Sandwich!
