Ingredients

1 loaf French bread
Mayonnaise
Dijon mustard
1/4 pound thinly sliced ham
4 slices Swiss cheese
Kosher dill pickles, sliced
Butter, for grilling

Directions

Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Spread one half with mayonnaise and the other with mustard. Layer the ham and Swiss cheese on 1 half of the bread. Layer the pickle slices over the cheese. Top with the other bread half. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat enough butter to coat the cooking surface. Place the sandwich in the pan and weight with another heavy pan or a brick wrapped in foil and grill until the cheese is melted. Cut the loaf to make 4 sandwiches.

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

A lot of brain dead people leaving reviews.....OBVIOUSLY it's not meant to be AUTHENTIC cuban...I hate when people rate the... wrong way, If you haven't tried it don't rate it....Just messes it up for others. Rate on the taste. Damn... I tried it, it was fabulous, it tasted good and my kids LOVED it, don't really care about how Cuban sandwiches don't have mayo... Thanks Paula...Read more

Paula please!!!!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Paula please. This was a great sandwich but call it what it is a grilled ham and cheese. From one southerner to another... please do your home work when leaving the Deep South? I live in south Florida and you will never ever put mayonnaise on a Cuban sandwich ?ever?. You also use Cuban bread, which is bread, baked with water not oil. The traditional Cuban is made with pork, ham, dill pickles, and mustard. God bless, we still love you.Read more

Are you kidding me?
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

When I first saw the rating as 3 stars, I wondered why it wasn't very high, I checked the ratings and find out how pointless... some of these ratings are. Who cares if it's not authentic? I mean there are people who make salads with mandarin oranges and call it Asian. Do you think I would go complain and give them low ratings? Pointless complains.Read more

Great sandwich
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Being from Florida, I've had my share of Cuban sandwiches, but now that I live in Canada, not all the ingredients are readily... available, so this was a great simplified version. I'll definitely make this one again.Read more

Not Authentic but still delicious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

If you watched the show you would of heard Paula say that this is her version of a Cuban sandwich. I was under the impression... to write a review we were supposed to at least try it. Don't write a review for a recipe unless you have tried itRead more
