Cuban Sandwich (My Way) image

Cuban Sandwich - also known as Cubano, to me is a fancy grilled ham and cheese sandwich with other ingredients added on. I use my homemade Cuban Bread Roll recipe to make it even more authentic, but French bread can be used. Sofrito is a Cuban salsa and like most Cuban food is not hot spicy but full of flavors; see my note in directions.

  • Close sandwich, pressing gently. Make sure you don't overfill your sandwich by too much or the inside of the sandwich won't warm properly when cooking.
  • Brush outside of the bread with soft butter.
  • Wrap sandwich tightly in foil.
  • Place sandwich in the center of the the grill or pan if using, press it down to make full contact Use a second pan or other heavy object to press on them until the first side crisps. About 5 minutes.
  • When crisp, carefully flip sandwiches, continue cooking until crisp and browned, about another 5 minutes.

I'm not a huge fan of Cuban sandwiches, but this one was actually pretty good.

I didn't have any pickles, so I used sauerkraut instead. It was still really good.

The sandwich was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good.
