Cubano Sandwiches

Print Recipe

Makes 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

2 Cuban, French, Italian or Portuguese rolls, about 2-1/2-3 ounces each
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon lowfat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon brown deli mustard or Dijon-style mustard
3 ounces thinly sliced ham
3 ounces thinly sliced roast pork
2 ounces Swiss cheese
4 long "sandwich" style slices dill pickle

Instructions

1. Cut roll horizontally for sandwiches; place on work surface cut sides up. Spread each cut side lightly with butter. Place mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl, stir to blend. Spread mayonnaise/mustard mixture evenly on all 4 roll halves. Divide the ham, pork, Swiss cheese evenly and use to build sandwiches in that order. Top with pickle slices, then top half of roll.
2. Preheat the Cuisinart® Griddler® in the closed griddle position to 350°F. When ready, arrange the sandwiches evenly spaced on the bottom griddle. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes, until bread is lightly browned and toasty, filling is warmed and cheese is melted. Serve hot.

Recipe may be increased - keep grilled sandwiches warm in a 175°F oven on a rack on a baking sheet, loosely covered with foil while grilling subsequent batches.
