About Medianoche

Medianoche is a traditional Cuban sandwich, popular for its rich flavors and satisfying combination of textures. The name "Medianoche," meaning "midnight" in Spanish, reflects its origin as a late-night snack in Havana’s vibrant nightlife. This sandwich features soft, sweet egg bread similar to challah, filled with roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard, then pressed and grilled to golden perfection. While the protein-packed pork and ham provide essential nutrients, the cheese adds calcium, and the pickles offer a tangy dose of probiotics. However, its high sodium content and calorie count from the bread, processed meats, and cheese may be a concern for those watching their intake. When enjoyed in moderation, the Medianoche remains a flavorful indulgence that captures the essence of Cuban culinary tradition.
