Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Cuban bread
  • 1 ounce regular prepared mustard
  • 4 dill pickles
  • 5 slices boiled ham or Virginia ham
  • 2 slices roast pork
  • 2 slices Genoa salami
  • 1 slice imported Swiss cheese
  • 1 ounce butter
  • 2 ham croquetas

Directions

1

Cut Cuban bread to desired size—a common size is 7 inches. Next, slice open the bread down the middle.

2

On the topside of the bread spread mustard evenly across. Place 4 pickles on top of the mustard.

3

Place 1 slice of Swiss cheese on top of the pickles.

4

Slice ham to desired thickness. The recommended size is 1 ½ ounces per slice, the thinner the better.

5

Fold each slice of ham in half and place evenly on bottom of bread. On top of the ham, place slices of roast pork and salami.

6

Join both halves of the sandwich.

7

Transfer the sandwich to a sandwich grill if you have one, or a waffle iron if not. Close the grill, smashing the sandwich.

8

Leave sandwich in the grill until top of bread turns to a golden brown, and top is crisp. Approximate time is 4 to 6 minutes.

9

After the sandwich is crispy and the cheese has melted, remove the sandwich carefully and slice it diagonally, from corner to corner.
