A delightful twist on the classic Cuban sandwich, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Spread Dijon mustard evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Ensure the mustard is spread to the edges for consistent flavor.
Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the mustard-covered side of half the bread slices.
Chop the cilantro finely for even distribution.
Layer the sliced pickles and cooked pork on top of the cilantro-covered bread slices.
Distribute the ingredients evenly to ensure each bite is flavorful.
Place a slice of ham and Swiss cheese on each of the remaining bread slices.
Ensure the cheese is fully covered by the bread to prevent it from melting out.
Combine the two sets of bread slices to form sandwiches.
Press the sandwiches gently to keep the layers intact.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt some butter.
Use just enough butter to coat the skillet for a golden crust.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and press them down with a heavy object, such as another skillet.
Check the underside occasionally to prevent burning.
Flip the sandwiches, add more butter if needed, and cook until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
Adjust the heat to avoid over-toasting the bread.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut them in half, and serve warm.
Serve with a side of chips or a salad for a complete meal.
