Make this traditional Cuban grilled ham and cheese sandwich for a change of pace. Use a panini sandwich maker if you have one to make it easier.

Ingredients

1 loaf Cuban Bread (French or Italian bread will work too)
1 lb. cooked ham, sliced
1 lb. roasted pork, sliced
1/2 lb. Swiss cheese, sliced
dill pickles, sliced
yellow mustard or mayonnaise
3 tablespoons butter

Steps

Preheat a griddle or frying pan on medium heat.
Cut bread into quarters and slice each quarter in half lengthwise for the sandwiches.
Spread the mustard or mayonnaise on the bread. Then make each sandwich by layering the pickles, roasted pork, ham, and cheese.
Lightly coat the cooking surface of the griddle or frying pan with butter. Place one sandwich onto the hot surface.
Put a clean, heavy skillet on top of the sandwich to flatten it. Press the bread down to about 1/3 of its original size.
