Description

I'm not sure how authentic this is, but it's following the rough idea of a classic Cuban sandwich. It tasted amazing!

Instructions

  1. Small 107143 2f2015 01 30 140051 img 0279

    We couldn't find any really suitable bread, so we cut a regular white loaf lengthways.

  2. Small 107143 2f2015 01 30 140103 img 0280

    Cut two slices! Spread each side with a little olive oil, then turn over.

  3. Small 107143 2f2015 01 30 140109 img 0283

    Start with a layer of mustard...

  4. Small 107143 2f2015 01 30 140119 img 0284

    Add some pickles...

  5. Small 107143 2f2015 01 30 140129 img 0285

    Then a few slices of swiss cheese...

  6. Small 107143 2f2015 01 30 140138 img 0286

    We added some veggie ham...

  7. Small 107143 2f2015 01 30 140153 img 0287

    and slices of veggie pepperoni, and a little salt and pepper.

    Time to cook! We used a hotplate, on a medium setting. A sandwich press would be ideal, but to get some pressure on it, I rested a heavy skillet on the top of the sandwich. Use a medium heat - don't burn the bread, but make sure the cheese gets to melting point.

    It's done! Cut it diagonally. And don't share it. With anyone.
