Ingredients
- 1 loaf Cuban bread
- 1 cup Roast pork
- 8 slices Sliced ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 8 slices Dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Slice the Cuban bread loaf into 4 equal portions and then cut each portion in half lengthwise to create sandwich halves.
Step 2
Spread a thin, even layer of yellow mustard on the inside of each sandwich half.
Step 3
Layer the bottom half of each sandwich with 1/4 cup of roast pork, 2 slices of ham, 1 slice of Swiss cheese, and 2 slices of dill pickles.
Step 4
Place the top half of the bread over the fillings to form a sandwich.
Step 5
Preheat a grill pan or panini press over medium heat.
Step 6
Lightly butter the outside of each sandwich with unsalted butter to ensure a crispy, golden crust when grilling.
Step 7
Place the sandwiches in the grill pan or press them in the panini press. If using a grill pan, press down firmly using a heavy pan or foil-wrapped brick to flatten and grill the sandwiches evenly.
Step 8
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
Step 9
Remove from the heat and let the sandwiches rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half and serving.
Step 10
Serve warm with your favorite sides like plantain chips or a light salad.
