Cuban Sandwich Recipe
Prep 10 min Cook 10 min Serves 6 Source

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Cuban bread
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard (or to taste)
  • 1 pound roast pork
  • 1 pound sliced ham (glazed ham is great, or your favorite deli ham)
  • 4 ounces Swiss cheese (or more to your preference)
  • 4 ounces sliced dill pickles (or to taste)

Steps

  1. 1

    Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Butter the bottom half with 2 tablespoon softened butter. Spread the mustard on the top half.

  2. 2

    Layer the sandwich with roast pork, sliced ham, Swiss cheese and dill pickles. Top the Cubano with the top bread slice.

  3. 3

    Slather the remaining butter over both sides of the sandwich.

  4. 4

    Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the Cuban sandwich for 5-6 minutes per side, pressing it down very firmly with another pan or spatula to "press" it tightly, until warmed through and bread is nice and crispy.

  5. 5

    Remove, slice and serve.
