A good Cuban sandwich is unbeatable. The combination of roast pork and Swiss balanced by the crisp bite of dill pickle hits the spot. Slice them up small to throw on a party platter or use as appetizers.

serves/makes:

ready in:
under 30 minutes

ingredients

3 Cuban sandwich rolls, about 6-inches long
2 tablespoons spicy mustard
6 slices (1 ounce size) roast pork
6 slices (1 ounce size) baked ham
6 slices (1 ounce size) Swiss cheese
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
6 lengthwise slices dill pickle
3 tablespoons vinaigrette salad dressing
3 tablespoons butter, softened

directions

Slice the rolls in half lengthwise and spread the insides with the spicy mustard.

Layer the pork, ham, Swiss cheese, tomato, onion, and pickle on the bottom half of the rolls.

Lightly drizzle the sandwiches with the vinaigrette.

Place the tops on the sandwiches and spread the outside of the rolls with the soft butter.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the dry skillet when hot. Place a weight on the sandwiches (such as a heavy cast iron skillet) and let cook until the bottoms are toasted.

Remove the weight and flip the sandwiches over carefully. Replace the weight and continue to cook until the other side is toasted.

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice into thirds, and serve warm.
