As such, the two main ingredients remain constant: cheese and slices of ham. If desired, a variation can be made by playing with the ratio of the two ingredients with each other.

The Cuban sandwich recipe for today is more to the “meaty” side as roast pork is used for the filling.

  • 1 lb of cooked and sliced ham
  • 1 lb of roasted and sliced pork
  • ½ lb of sliced Swiss cheese
  • Pickles
  • Mayonnaise and/ or mustard

  1. Before assembling the sandwich, preheat the frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Cut the loaf in the ideal size and start assembling the sandwich. Spread the mayonnaise on the bread layer the meats alternately with slices of cheese.
  3. Once the sandwich is assembled, coat the frying pan with oil or non – stick spray.

  5. Turn the sandwich over and repeat step number 4.
