๐Ÿฅช Cuban Pork Sandwich Recipe delivers an authentic taste of Cuba with layers of mojo-marinated pork, ham, Swiss cheese, and tangy pickles in crispy toasted baguettes.
๐Ÿ”ฅ This sandwich is perfect for those craving a savory, satisfying meal that balances rich flavors with a delightful crunch.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

– 2 thin slices baked leg ham

– 4 large, thin slices Mojo Marinated Pork

– 2 pieces white baguettes, 6 inches (15 cm) each, cut in half

– Melted butter for brushing

– American mustard (quantity as needed)

– 2 thin slices Swiss cheese

– 2 or 3 dill pickles, thinly sliced

Instructions

1-Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and cook the 2 thin slices of baked leg ham and 4 large, thin slices of Mojo Marinated Pork until they’re slightly browned on each side, then set them aside.

2-Next, brush the cut sides of the 2 pieces of white baguettes (each 6 inches or 15 cm, cut in half) with melted butter and toast them cut side down in the same skillet for 2 minutes until lightly browned.

3-Remove the baguettes and place them on a work surface. Layer the bottom halves with the pork, ham, 2 thin slices of Swiss cheese, and 2 or 3 thinly sliced dill pickles, adjusting the layers to fit neatly.

4-Spread American mustard (as needed) on the top halves of the baguettes and place them on the layered bottoms to form the sandwiches.

5-Brush the outside of both the top and bottom baguette pieces with more melted butter.

6-Heat the skillet over medium-high heat, place the sandwiches inside, cover with baking paper, and compress them using a heavy skillet or pot. Cook for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown, crispy, and the cheese is melted.

7-Finally, let the sandwiches rest for 1 minute before cutting them in half and serving immediately.
