Cuban Sandwich
Stacked with roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, and crispy Cuban bread, a Cuban sandwich is a flavor-packed bite of pure comfort.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of Cuban bread or substitute with French bread or baguette
- 1 pound roast pork sliced thin
- 4 slices ham
- 4 slices cheese your choice
- 6-7 dill pickles
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
Instructions
- Cut the Cuban bread in half lengthwise and spread mustard on both sides.
- Layer the roast pork, ham, cheese and pickles on one half of the bread.
- Place the other half of the bread on top and press down gently.
- Heat a large skillet or panini press over medium heat.
- Place the sandwich in the skillet and put a heavy pan or foil-covered brick on top to press down. Cook until the bread is crispy, and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side.
- Cut the sandwich into smaller pieces or leave it as it is and serve hot.
Notes
- When choosing processed deli meats and cheeses, look for cleaner-ingredient options and avoid nitrates, nitrites, and other harmful additives.
- While Swiss cheese is traditional, feel free to explore here! Pepperjack would give a good spicy flavor, and Gouda would give a nice depth of flavor.
