Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Cuban bread
- 1 cup Roast pork
- 4 slices Sliced ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 8 slices Pickles
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Cut the Cuban bread into two equal portions and slice each portion horizontally to create a top and bottom half.
Spread yellow mustard evenly on the inside of each half of the bread.
Layer the bottom halves of the bread with 1/2 cup of roast pork, 2 slices of ham, 2 slices of Swiss cheese, and 4 pickle slices for each sandwich.
Place the top half of the bread over the filling to complete the sandwich.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and place one sandwich on the skillet.
Press the sandwich with a heavy pan or a sandwich press to flatten. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on one side until golden and crispy, then flip and repeat on the other side.
Repeat the pressing and cooking process for the second sandwich, adding another tablespoon of butter if needed.
Once both sandwiches are golden brown, remove them from the skillet, slice them in half diagonally, and serve immediately.
