Sandwiches
Cuban Sandwiches
Roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, mustard, and pickles are pressed in bread until the crust is crisp and the cheese melts.
Serves 4
Directions
Mix the softened butter with the olive oil. Spread the mustard over the cut sides of the bread and pat the pickles dry.
Layer half the Swiss, the pork, ham, pickles, and pepper on the bottom half. Add the remaining cheese and close the loaf.
Cut into serving portions and spread the butter mixture thinly over the outside.
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sandwiches in batches and press with a second heavy skillet.
Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until the bread is crisp and the cheese melts. Reheat leftover pork to 165°F.
Lower the heat if the bread browns before the filling is hot. Rest for 1 minute, then cut diagonally and serve.
