Description
Experience the deliciousness of a Crispy Cubano Sandwich with smoky ham and savory roast pork.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf Cuban or French Bread (or sturdy baguette or ciabatta)
- 6 slices Sliced Ham (or turkey slices)
- 4 ounces Roast Pork (using another protein will change the flavor)
- 4 ounces Swiss Cheese (or provolone for a milder taste)
- 4 slices Tangy Pickles (optional for less tangy)
- 2 tablespoons Mustard (consider lower-sodium mustard as an option)
- 2 tablespoons Softened Butter (or vegan butter for dairy-free option)
Instructions
- Preheat your sandwich press, skillet, or grill pan over medium heat.
- Butter the outsides of the bread slices evenly.
- Layer the fillings: pile on the sliced ham, roast pork, Swiss cheese, tangy pickles, and mustard between the bread slices.
- Press the sandwich: if using a sandwich press, carefully place the sandwich inside it. If not, use a heavy pan to weigh it down and cook until the bread is crusty and golden, about 3-5 minutes.
- Rest briefly after cooking before slicing to prevent a gooey mess.
