Cuban Sandwich

Serves 2
Time 20 min
Who can resist a traditional hot Cuban sandwich with thinly sliced meats, pickles and melted cheese on perfectly pan-toasted bread? Our version is not quite traditional, but definitely delicious -- try piling on baby spinach, sliced red onion and roasted red peppers.

Method

Heat a cast iron skillet, griddle, or double-sided sandwich maker. 

Spread mustard and mayonnaise on each piece of the bread, if using. 

Layer 2 slices each of the ham, turkey, salami, and cheese onto 2 pieces of the bread. 

Layer even amounts of pickle between the meat and cheese, and top each with even amounts of spinach, onion, and pepper. 

Top each with a piece of bread to make two sandwiches. 

Place sandwiches on the hot skillet or griddle. (If desired, you can use a small amount of clarified butter on the grill). 

Lay a heavy skillet on top of the sandwich to flatten the it to about one-quarter of its original size, grilling for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side. 

If using a double-sided sandwich maker, grill for 3 to 4 minutes. 

Serve sandwiches hot.
