Ingredients

2 servings
Cuban or sandwich bread1 loaf (about 12 inches)
Ham4 oz
Dill pickles4-5 slices
Butter1 tbsp

Method

1

Slice the bread loaf lengthwise and lightly brush the cut sides with butter or mojo sauce if using.

2

Spread mustard on the bottom half of the bread. Layer roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, and dill pickles in even rows.

3

Close the sandwich with the top half of bread and press gently to compact.

4

Heat a panini press or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, butter the outside of the sandwich.

5

Press the sandwich in the hot panini press for 3-4 minutes until golden and cheese melts, or place in the skillet and weight it down with another skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

6

Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 1 minute. Cut diagonally in half and serve immediately.
