  • 1 loaf French or Italian bread (If Cuban bread can’t be found at your local store)
  • 1 lb shredded cooked pork
  • 1 lb sliced deli ham
  • 1/2 lb sliced baby swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced dill pickles
  • 1/4 cup mustard
  • 1/4 cup butter sliced and softened

Instructions

  • Cut the loaf of bread in half, then cut into 4-6 even pieces.
  • Open each piece of bread and cover the bottom slice with cheese, pickles, pork, ham, and cheese, topping the top slice of bread with mustard.
  • Coat the outer sides of the bread with butter.
  • Place on an open skillet, indoor grill, or panini press.
  • Allow the bottom of the sandwich to cook until golden, before turning.
  • While the second side is cooking, use a second pan, or skillet lid to press down on the sandwich to flatten it together.
  • Once the sandwich is compressed, and both sides are golden brown, remove from heat and serve.
