Ingredients
- 1 loaf Cuban bread or French baguette
- 3 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 6 slices Sliced Swiss cheese
- 8 slices Thinly sliced cooked ham
- 1 cup Roast pork
- 6 slices Sliced dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Cut the Cuban bread or French baguette into 4 equal sandwich-sized portions. Slice each portion horizontally in half to create a top and bottom piece.
Step 2
Spread 1 to 2 teaspoons of yellow mustard on the inner sides of each bread half.
Step 3
On the bottom half of each sandwich, layer a slice of Swiss cheese, 2 slices of ham, a generous amount of roast pork, 2 slices of dill pickles, and another slice of Swiss cheese.
Step 4
Place the top half of the bread on each sandwich to form the Cuban toasties.
Step 5
Heat a skillet or sandwich press over medium heat. Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of each sandwich—both the top and the bottom.
Step 6
If using a skillet, press the sandwich with a heavy object (like a cast iron pan or wrapped brick) as it cooks to flatten it slightly. Cook each side for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted inside. If using a sandwich press, cook for 6 to 8 minutes total until crispy and heated through.
Step 7
Remove the sandwiches from the heat and let them cool for a minute before cutting each in half diagonally for serving.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your crispy Cuban Toasties!
