Photo: Cuban Sandwich Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1/4 pound baked ham, thinly sliced
- 1/4 pound roast pork, thinly sliced
- 1/4 pound provolone cheese, thinly sliced
- 10 thin dill pickle slices, approximately 2 whole pickles
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
Directions
Slice the bread horizontally in half, leaving 1 edge intact. Lay the bread open and spread each side with the mustard. Divide the ingredients evenly among the slices of roll. Start with the ham followed by the pork, cheese, and dill pickles. Bring the tops and bottoms together.
Heat your panini maker or sandwich press. Butter each side of the press. Place the sandwiches inside, press down and grill until the cheese is melted and the bread is flat and browned, approximately 10 minutes. If you don't have a sandwich press, you can heat 6 fireplace bricks wrapped in foil, in a 500 degrees F oven for 1 hour and then press the sandwich between them for 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Mr. Brown, I am a 69 y/o cuban political refugee who came to
this country in 1960, I was 16 y/o at the time. I have had my
share of cuban sandwiches in Miami where I live. I have never
seen "provolone" cheese on a cuban sandwich, it should be
swiss cheese, trust me it should be swiss cheese. Thks for
your recipy, it is good except for the cheese. jb

I asked for advice from my favorite blog (never having made these before, and swiss cheese and garlic butter on the rolls was a unanimous recommendation.
The sandwiches were delicious!!!
