Cuban Sandwich

Recipe courtesy Ingrid Hoffmann, 2008


Open the bread like a book and spread each side with the mayonnaise and mustard. Lay 2 slices of ham and 2
slices of roast pork on 1 side of the roll. Top with 2 slices of cheese. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the
olive-raisin relish over the cheese. Bring the tops and bottoms of the sandwich together.

Wrap 4 bricks in aluminum foil and place in a 500 degree F oven for 15 minutes.

Melt the butter in a large skillet or griddle pan over medium heat (if your skillet isn't large enough you may
need to cook the sandwiches in 2 batches). Place the sandwiches in the skillet and press down with the hot
bricks for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is flat and browned.
