Ultimate Grilled Cuban Sandwich

Learn how to make this all-star, simple to make Ultimate Cuban Sandwich recipe as a delicious lunch that will tantalize your taste buds!

The Cuban Sandwich has a lot of history as to how it arrived in the states, specifically Florida.
A Cuban Sandwich is a variation of a ham and cheese sandwich that was often made in cafes catering to Cuban workers in the early Cuban immigrant communities of Florida: Key West and Ybor City, Tampa. Later on, Cuban exiles and expatriates brought it to Miami where it is also still very popular. The sandwich is made with ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, and sometimes salami on Cuban bread.

To make this simple and delicious sandwich, you’re going to take a loaf of Cuban bread and brush one side with yellow mustard and the other with butter, then you will begin to add your roasted pork.

The next step is layering very thin slices of honey ham.

Next, layer the pickle chips and the Swiss cheese.

Top the sandwich with your bread and place it on a grill or in the oven on low just until the cheese melts.
