1
pound
ham
1
pound
Swiss cheese
Dill pickles
Mustard
Instructions
Slice the Cuban bread into sandwich-sized portions and cut each portion in half.
Spread mustard on one side of the bread.
Layer the ham, pork, Swiss cheese, and pickles on the bread.
Top with the other half of the bread.
Press the sandwich in a sandwich press or use a heavy skillet until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.
Slice the sandwich diagonally and serve.
Notes
Press the sandwich while cooking. This helps the ingredients meld together and gives the bread a nice, toasty crust.
If you don't have a sandwich press, you can use a heavy skillet or a brick wrapped in aluminum foil to press the sandwich.
Make sure to layer your ingredients evenly. This ensures that you get a bit of everything in each bite.
Use good quality ingredients. This sandwich is simple, so the flavors of each ingredient really shine through.
You can prepare the pork ahead of time, making this a great option for a quick and easy meal.
