How to cook it

6 steps

Step 1
Slice the cuban bread lengthwise and spread mustard on the inside of both halves.
Step 2
Layer the roast pork, ham, swiss cheese, and pickles on the bottom half.
Step 3
Close the sandwich with the top half of the bread.
Step 4
Spread the softened butter on the outside of the sandwich.
Step 5
Cook in a panini press or a skillet with a heavy pan pressed on top, flipping once, for 6 to 8 minutes total, until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted.
Step 6
Slice diagonally and serve hot — authentic cuban bread is even better if your bakery carries it.
