CUBAN SANDWICH

Steps:

• Cut bread in half, vertically down the center, with a serrated knife. This will create 2 (6-inch) halves. Take both 6-inch halves and slice horizontally down the center, making a top and bottom loaf. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each top half and a thin layer of mustard on each bottom half. Arrange the ham and pork evenly on each half, then stack the pickle slices and cheese on each half.
• Grill the sandwiches in a buttered sandwich press until they are flat, the bread is browned, and the cheese has melted. Cut each sandwich in half and serve at once.

Steps:

• To prepare the Cuban, butter the top and bottom interior side of each baguette and place in a skillet over medium heat to brown and crisp the bread. Once browned, remove the baguettes from the skillet and begin to layer each sandwich with 1 tablespoon mustard, 4 ounces pulled pork, 2 slices pickle, 2 to 3 ounces ham and 2 slices Swiss cheese. After stacking the sandwiches, return the skillet to the stove over medium heat and warm with the oil. Add the sandwiches in batches and weigh down with a heavy skillet. Grill until crisp on the exterior, 1 to 2 minutes. Then flip and repeat the process on the second side. Once cooked on both sides, remove and repeat with the remaining sandwiches, then serve.

Steps:

• Slice the bread horizontally in half, leaving 1 edge intact. Lay the bread open and spread each side with the mustard. Divide the ingredients evenly among the slices of roll. Start with the ham followed by the pork, cheese, and dill pickles. Bring the tops and bottoms together.
• Heat your panini maker or sandwich press. Butter each side of the press. Place the sandwiches inside, press down and grill until the cheese is melted and the bread is flat and browned, approximately 10 minutes. If you don't have a sandwich press, you can heat 6 fireplace bricks wrapped in foil, in a 500 degrees F oven for 1 hour and then press the sandwich between them for 10 minutes. Serve warm.
