Method
Preparation
Slice the Bread
Take the Cuban bread loaf and cut it in half lengthwise to create a top and bottom.
Spread Mustard
Spread Dijon mustard evenly on the inside of both halves of the Cuban bread.
Layer the Fillings
On the bottom half of the bread, layer the mojo pork, followed by the sliced ham, Swiss cheese, and pickle slices.
Cooking
Grill the Sandwich
If using, spread butter on the outside of the sandwich. Heat a grill pan or sandwich press over medium heat. Place the sandwich on the grill and press down gently.
Cook Until Golden
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Slice and Serve
Once cooked, remove the sandwich from the grill, slice it in half, and serve warm.
