Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Cuban bread or soft French bread
- 8 ounces Roast pork
- 8 slices Sliced ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 slices Dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Slice the loaf of Cuban bread lengthwise in half; if the loaf is long, cut it into two portions to make two sandwiches.
Spread 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard evenly over the cut side of each half of bread.
On the bottom halves of the bread, layer 4 ounces of roast pork, 4 slices of ham, 2 slices of Swiss cheese, and 2 slices of dill pickle for each sandwich.
Place the top halves of the bread over the fillings, pressing down gently to hold the sandwich together.
Heat a large skillet, griddle, or panini press over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on the outside of each sandwich (both the top and bottom surfaces).
If using a skillet or griddle, place the sandwiches in the pan and press them down with a heavy object (such as another skillet or a foil-wrapped brick) to flatten them slightly. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted.
If using a panini press, cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, usually 4-5 minutes.
Remove the sandwiches from the heat and let them rest for 1 minute before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your Super Grilled Cuban Midnight Sandwich!
