Best Shirleys Version Of A Cuban Sammie Recipes

CUBAN SANDWICH

Steps:

• If using a panini press or griddle, heat it to a medium to medium high heat.
• Slice the bread lengthwise and spread both sides with mustard. Lay half of the cheese on the bottom slice of bread. Top with pickles, followed by ham and roast pork. Top with the other slice of bread and brush with melted butter.
• Place the sandwich in the panini press (Note: if sandwich is too large, carefully cut it in half or quarters and cook in two or three batches.)
• If cooking on a griddle, place the buttered side of the bread down on the griddle. Lay a piece of parchment paper over the sandwich and use a heavy cast iron skillet or other heavy pan to press the sandwich. Cook until cheese gets melty, then flip sandwich and continue cooking until the other side of the cheese melts and the sandwich is hot and crispy on the outside.
• Slice and serve.

CUBAN SANDWICH (SALLYE)

Steps:

• 1. ***You can also use bolillos, panini bread, or 4 pieces of Texas toast cut in halves.
• 2. Cut roll in half and open up Spread aioli or mayonnaise on one side of roll and mustard on other side (My recipe can be found under https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/dip/homemade-aioli-by-bates.html?p=1
• 3. Place 2 pieces of ham and 2 pieces of pork on one side of roll Overlay meat with 2 pieces of cheese (Swiss is the traditional cheese used but we like provolone better)
• 4. On other side of roll sprinkle sliced olives and cover with thinly sliced onion. Close up roll
• 5. Spread butter on both outsides of each roll Place rolls in heated Panini press or George Foreman grill and cook until cheese is fully melted and rolls are toasty brown. If you use George's grill, open up and press sandwich with spatula a couple of times so it will be "smashed".
• 6. If you don't have a panini press or George Foreman grill, not to worry. Just place in a heavy skillet (such as cast iron) and cook the same way you would a grilled cheese sandwich.
