The Cuban sandwich (sometimes called a "Medianoche" or "Cuban Pressed Sandwich") was a common lunch food for workers in the cigar factories and sugar mills of turn of the century Cuba. I think you'll enjoy my version! Ingredients • 4 hoagie style rolls ( I like to use a sweet style bread like the challah we used here) • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard • 1/4 pound baked ham, thinly sliced • 1/2 pound roast pork, thinly sliced • 1/4 pound swiss cheese, thinly sliced • 2 whole dill pickles • 1 tablespoon butter, room temperature Directions Slice the bread horizontally in half. Spread each side with mustard. Divide the ingredients evenly among the slices of roll. Start with the ham followed by the pork, cheese, and dill pickles. 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. Serve warm.
