Grilled New Cuban Sandwiches Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

You can use any two types of cheese or meat in this simple grilled sandwich recipe. What makes it 'cuban' is the pressing of the sandwich as it cooks, and the combination of ingredients. Pickles, cheese, and several kinds of meat are typically used in this sandwich. If you don't have a panini grill or george foreman grill, place a heavy skillet on the sandwiches as they cook in a skillet, then turn, weight the sandwiches, and cook until golden. You can also use whole wheat or sourdough bread in place of the french rolls or kaiser buns in this recipe. What makes it delicious is the combination of the crispbread with the melted cheese, tangy pickles, and tender meat. The original cuban sandwich is made of "French type bread, butter, mustard, swiss cheese, pickles, honey-cured sweet ham, and pork shoulder" According to fernando, who wrote to tell me about it.
