The Cuban Sandwich: A Pressed Masterpiece of Flavor and Tradition

Slice 1 loaf bread into 8-inch sections and split horizontally. Spread 2 tbsp yellow mustard on the bottom half.

Layer in this order: 1 slice Swiss cheese, ¼ lb folded ham, ½ lb roasted pork, 8–10 dill pickle slices, and another slice of Swiss cheese.

Close the sandwich and butter the outside lightly with 2 tbsp softened butter.

Press in a panini press or weighted skillet for 3–4 minutes until golden and crispy.

Slice diagonally and serve immediately.
