Cuban Sandwich
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Two 12- to 14-inch French baguettes, cut in half lengthwise
- 4 tablespoons Dijon or stone-ground mustard
- 1 pound pulled pork, plain (not glazed or barbeque)
- 10 to 12 pickle slices
- 8 to 10 ounces ham, sliced
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- To prepare the Cuban, butter the top and bottom interior side of each baguette and place in a skillet over medium heat to brown and crisp the bread.
- Once browned, remove the baguettes from the skillet and begin to layer each sandwich with 1 tablespoon mustard, 4 ounces pulled pork, 2 slices pickle, 2 to 3 ounces ham and 2 slices Swiss cheese.
- After stacking the sandwiches, return the skillet to the stove over medium heat and warm with the oil.
- Add the sandwiches in batches and weigh down with a heavy skillet.
- Grill until crisp on the exterior, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Then flip and repeat the process on the second side.
- Once cooked on both sides, remove and repeat with the remaining sandwiches, then serve.
