Method
Preparation
Slice the Cuban Bread
Cut the Cuban bread in half lengthwise to create a top and bottom half for your sandwich.
Layer the Ingredients
On the bottom half of the bread, layer the sliced ham, followed by the sliced roasted pork, Swiss cheese, dill pickle slices, and finally spread yellow mustard on the top half of the bread.
Cooking
Butter the Bread
Spread butter on the outer sides of both halves of the sandwich.
Press the Sandwich
Heat a pan or a sandwich press over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan or press and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-5 minutes per side. If using a pan, press down with a heavy pan or spatula to compress the sandwich.
Serve
Remove the sandwich from the heat, cut it in half, and serve warm.
