Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  • 1 pound Swiss cheese
  • 1 loaf Cuban bread
  • ¼ cup olive salad, giardiniera or pickles of choice
  • 1 pound ham
  • 1 pound roasted pork, shredded
  • Mustard (optional)
     
Instructions
  1. Preheat a griddle on medium-low heat.
  2. Cut the loaf of bread into 4 sections. Then cut each section in half and spread butter generously on the inside of the slices.
  3. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread mustard on the bread. Then add olive salad, giardiniera or pickles. Add some roasted pork, a couple of slices of ham and two slices of cheese per sandwich. Close each sandwich.
  4. Add a little butter or cooking spray to the hot griddle.
  5. Place each sandwich on the griddle. Lay a heavy pan, press or foil-wrapped brick on top to flatten the sandwich. Grill both sides on medium-low heat until cheese is melted, approximately 3-5 minutes per side.
  6. Slice each flattened sandwich in half diagonally. Serve with black beans.
