Description
A savory blend of marinated pork, melted Swiss cheese, and tangy pickles cradled in crispy Cuban bread, creating a flavorful experience.
Ingredients
- Cuban Bread
- Pork Roast
- Swiss Cheese
- Dill Pickles
- Garlic Butter (softened butter and minced garlic)
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: In a bowl, combine softened butter and minced garlic. Spread this mixture generously on the outer sides of your bread.
- Layer Your Ingredients: On the inner sides of the bread, start with a generous helping of the seasoned pork, followed by Swiss cheese and pickle slices.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Close the sandwich so the gooey cheese and tangy pickles are hugging the pork.
- Heat Your Skillet: Place your skillet over medium heat and add the assembled sandwich.
- Press and Cook: Place a heavy frying pan lid on top of the sandwich. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden.
- Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the sandwich and cook another 3-4 minutes until golden and the cheese has melted.
- Slice and Serve: Let the sandwich sit for a minute, then slice it diagonally and enjoy!
Notes
Make ahead by preparing garlic butter and pork a day in advance for enhanced flavor. Customize with additional fillings like roasted peppers or avocado.
