Cuban Pork Sandwiches

Cuban Pork Sandwiches

I love this sandwich.  Easy to make and full of flavor.  You can use a split baguette, Portuguese rolls, a split baguette or a rustic loaf such as ciabatta.  After layering the ingredients in the loaf, cut into 4 individual sandwiches and serve.  You will love this sandwich as much as I do!

INGREDIENTS

4 Crusty Rolls or Baguette

5 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard

2 ½ Cups Thinly Sliced Roasted Pork

1 Pound Thinly Sliced Genoa Salami or Smoked Ham

½ Pound Thinly Sliced Swiss Cheese

½ Cup Dill Pickle Slices

3 Tablespoons Melted Unsalted Butter

To assemble the sandwiches preheat a heavy skillet or grill pan over medium high heat.  Spread the bottom of each roll with the mustard.  Layer the pork, ham, cheese and pickles on the rolls (divide evenly).  Set the top halves in place and press gently.  Brush the tops of the rolls with the melted butter.  To grill the sandwiches place in the heated pan and use either a second pan or a weighted press to press down the cooking sandwiches.  Grill for 2 ½ minutes until the undersides are golden.  Turn the sandwiches over, press with the weight again, and cook for another 2 ½ minutes until the other sides are golden and the cheese is melted.  Serve immediately.  Serves 4
