Cuban Sandwich

Pressed ham, roast pork, cheese and pickle on Cuban bread.

Ingredients

• 1 loaf Cuban bread
• 300 g Roast pork
• 200 g Ham
• 150 g Swiss-style cheese
• 1 cup Pickles
• 3 tbsp Mustard
• 3 tbsp Butter

Method

1. Split the bread — Cut the loaf into portions and split each horizontally.
2. Build — Spread mustard, then layer pickles, roast pork, ham and cheese — in that order, so the cheese melts onto the meat.
3. Butter the outside — Butter the top and bottom crusts generously.
4. Press — Cook in a hot press or heavy pan with a weight on top for 5 minutes until flattened, crisp and the cheese runs.
5. Cuban Sandwich is ready — Cut on a sharp diagonal and eat hot.
