The Cuban sandwich, or “Cubano,” is a classic sandwich from Cuba. It features ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard on French bread. It is simple to make and absolutely delicious!
You will need a panini press or skillet to make this sandwich.
Ingredients:
1 loaf of Cuban bread or French bread, sliced lengthwise
1/2 lb roast pork, thinly sliced
1/2 lb ham, thinly sliced
4 slices Swiss cheese
Dill pickles, thinly sliced
Softened butter or mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat a panini press or a large skillet over medium heat.
- Slice the loaf of bread lengthwise and spread a thin layer of mustard on both sides of the bread.
- Layer the bottom half of the bread with slices of roast pork, followed by slices of ham, Swiss cheese, and dill pickles.
- Place the top half of the bread on the sandwich to close it.
- If using a panini press, spread a thin layer of softened butter or mayonnaise on the outer sides of the bread. If using a skillet, you can spread butter directly on the skillet.
- Place the sandwich in the panini press or skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted, about 5-7 minutes.
- If using a skillet, you can press the sandwich down with a spatula while cooking to flatten it.
- Once the sandwich is cooked, remove it from the panini press or skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing it into individual portions.
