Cubano Sandwiches

Spread mustard on the inside of each hoagie roll half. Sprinkle with garlic powder.

Layer each bottom half with the sliced roast pork, then the deli ham, the pickles, the Swiss cheese, and finally the top half of the roll. Be sure to divide these ingredients evenly among the four sandwiches.

If you have a sandwich press, use the manufacturer’s instructions for toasting the sandwich. Otherwise, continue reading.

Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Spray or brush the skillet with oil. Set two sandwiches in the skillet and then place a heavy cast iron skillet or pot on top of the sandwiches. (You could also use two foil-wrapped bricks.) Press the skillet on top to help flatten the sandwiches.

Heat sandwiches until the bottom is toasted and golden brown, about 2 minutes. Spray or brush oil onto the tops of the sandwiches before turning them over.

Heat another 1-2 minutes until other side is toasted.
