The Cubano begins with a soft and sweet Cuban bread piled high with seasoned pork roast and sliced ham. Swiss cheese and sour pickles are filled in between the layers of meat and the sandwich is brought together with yellow mustard and a garlic butter schmear.
Layer the sandwich with roast pork, sliced ham, Swiss cheese and dill pickles. Top the Cubano with the top bread slice.
1 lbs roast pork, 1 lbs sliced ham, 4 oz Swiss cheese, 4 oz sliced dill pickles
Slather the remaining butter over both sides of the sandwich.
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side, pressing it down very firmly with another pan or spatula to "press" it tightly, until warmed through and bread is nice and crispy.
Remove, slice and serve.
