Cuban Sandwiches

What is a Cuban Sandwich? It is a hot sandwich made with ham, turkey, Swiss cheese, a pickle and a special sauce that is made to cover the inside of the bread.

Before we get into anything else I’m going to place the recipe below and then go into more detail about the meal and the reception it has received.

• Jack’s Cuban Sandwich recipe!
• Sauce:
• 1/2 cup of Mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup yellow mustard
• 1/4 cup Italian Dressing
• Sandwich:
• White sub rolls(6)
• 1 Lb sliced turkey breast
• 1 lb sliced ham
• 12 slices Swiss cheese
• 6 dill pickle slices
• 1 TBS olive/vegetable oil

This recipe is very easy to make an all the ingredients combined would be fairly cheap to obtain and can feed multiple people. Before I begin the instructions on how to create the sandwich I will go over the piece of equipment used to make the sandwiches. Normally you can use a pan to make one sandwich at a time but since I was feeding multiple people I used an electric griddle to cook all 6 sandwiches at once.

• For starters lets make the sauce:
• In a small bowl combine the Mayonnaise, mustard and Italian dressing. stir until a smooth yellow color throughout the entire bowl.
• split each of the 6 sub rolls into two pieces and spread the sauce evenly on both sides of the bread.
• Take 2 slices of cheese per sandwich and tear them to place onto the bread
• put two slices of each meat(ham and turkey) on both sides of the bread
• place a pickle slice onto one side of the sandwich and close the sandwich
• brush the bottom of the bread with your oil and place it into a hot pan then brush the top with oil
• Use another pan or heavy object to press down on the sandwich while it is cooking (your main goal is to melt the cheese and get a nice crunch in the bread)
• After the sandwich is cooked take it off the heat and serve hot.

As I said at the beginning of this post I was going to say how the sandwich was received by those I fed it to. Personally this is one of my favorite meals to make since it is so simple and really tasty. I wanted to see what my friends thought about the meal however and I was very happy with their responses.

1:This sandwich has a good cheesy taste and the sauce pairs nicely with the toasted bread.

2: The crunch of the bread was really good and all the different tastes together make it really unique

3: The melted cheese and the bread work well together and everything inside was warmed together to make it all taste amazing.

I’ve been making this recipe for about 4 years now and I am constantly trying to improve it for the next times I make it and am always open to suggestions.
