The Cuban (sigh) a Top 5 Sandwich in our book. It's made up of some of the most simple ingredients (some which are pantry items, some may be leftovers), yet it hits every part of your pallette for complete enjoyment.
Hardware Needed:
Aluminum Foil
Sheet Pan
Cast Iron Grill Pan (A heavy oven proof skillet will do as well.)
Ingredients:
Crusty Bread (I used a ciabata roll, cut into a 4 inch square)
Dijon Mustard
3 Slices Swiss Cheese
2-3 Slices Ham
Pork Tenderloin, sliced thin on the bias (I used some leftover from a dinner a few days ago)
Sweet Pickle Sandwich Slices
Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with the sheet pan on the lower rack and the grill pan on the top rack. These need to heat up with the oven.
Spread an even layer of mustard on both sides of the bread and one slice of cheese on each side of the bread. From there, layer on the pork, pickles, last slice of cheese, and ham. Close the sandwich up and wrap tightly in foil. (I used a double layer so there was no leaking.)
Place the wrapped sandwich on the sheet pan and place the grill pan on top - I give it a little press so that it stays under the grill pan. After 7 minutes, I flip the sandwich and let it go for another 7 minutes.
Remove from the oven, unwrap, cut and serve. The weight of the pan on top compresses the sandwich and helps create a nice crunch on the outside of your sandwich.
Your mouth will thank you for this sandwich.
Enjoy!
