Ingredients

• 1 loaf Cuban bread or soft French bread
• 8 ounces Roast pork
• 8 slices Sliced ham
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 4 slices Dill pickles
• 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Slice the loaf of Cuban bread lengthwise in half; if the loaf is long, cut it into two portions to make two sandwiches.

Step 2

Spread 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard evenly over the cut side of each half of bread.

Step 3

On the bottom halves of the bread, layer 4 ounces of roast pork, 4 slices of ham, 2 slices of Swiss cheese, and 2 slices of dill pickle for each sandwich.

Step 4

Place the top halves of the bread over the fillings, pressing down gently to hold the sandwich together.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet, griddle, or panini press over medium heat.

Step 6

Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on the outside of each sandwich (both the top and bottom surfaces).

Step 7

If using a skillet or griddle, place the sandwiches in the pan and press them down with a heavy object (such as another skillet or a foil-wrapped brick) to flatten them slightly. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted.

Step 8

If using a panini press, cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, usually 4-5 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the sandwiches from the heat and let them rest for 1 minute before slicing in half.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Super Grilled Cuban Midnight Sandwich!
