Ingredients

2 servings
Cuban bread1 loaf (about 18 inches)
Ham6 oz
Butter1 tbsp

Method

1

Slice the Cuban bread in half lengthwise. If the loaf is longer than your press, cut it in half to make two sandwiches.

2

Spread yellow mustard on the bottom half of the bread. Layer ham, roast pork, cheese, and pickle slices in that order.

3

Place the top half of bread on the filling. Lightly butter the outside of both halves of bread.

4

Heat a panini press or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the sandwich on the press.

5

Press firmly for 3 to 4 minutes, until the bread is golden-brown and crispy on the outside. Flip and press the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes until evenly crisped.

6

Remove from the press and let cool for 1 minute. Slice diagonally if desired and serve warm.
