Directions

To prepare Cubano

  1. Pre-heat a griddle or pan medium high heat.
  2. Slice Cuban bread in half and portion out to 4 sandwiches, approximately 6 inches long each or as desired.
  3. Layer the sandwich with 3 slices or approximately 1.5 ounces of roast pork, topped with 2 to 3 slices of ham, and 2 to 3 slices of Coppa.
  4. Top with 1 to 2 slices of Swiss cheese.
  5. Brush the griddle or pan with a light coat of oil or butter.
  6. Place on the griddle and press with a weight, another pan or griddle top, or a weighted plate. Press down to compress the sandwich slightly. Lower the heat to medium.
  7. Flip sandwich once the first side is light golden. Repeat on the other side. Press slightly.
  8. Remove from griddle or pan, place on a cutting board.
  9. Open the sandwich carefully, spread a thin layer of mustard (approx. ½ TBSP per sandwich) inside on both sides of the bread. Add the pickles on top of cheese or under meats.
  10. Close sandwich and slice in half on a bias. Serve and enjoy!
