Ham from Easter and the pork was from last night's Pork Tenderloin...
Cut a loaf of Cuban Bread into 6-8" lengths;split down the middle. Spread butter and then a some Black Mustard BBQ Slather on both insides of the bread. Start with the bottom slice; put a layer of ham, a layer of pork, some pickle chips and top with Swiss Cheese. Put the top on the bread and press down with your hand. Transfer the sandwich to a hot frying pan with a couple of foil-wrapped bricks on top for a weight (or whatever you choose!). Flip after a few minutes, not letting the bread burn. Move sandwich to a plate, cut in half diagonal....POOF!!!!...you have an authentic Cuban Sandwich
On occasion, depending on whether I have any on hand, I like to add a few slices of salami to the middle of the sandwich.
