Ingredients
1 loaf Cuban bread, sliced lengthwise
1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 1/2 pounds boiled ham, sliced
1 1/2 pounds roasted pork, sliced
1 pound Swiss cheese, sliced
1 cup dill pickle chips
Directions
Split the Cuban bread loaf lengthwise using a sharp serrated knife, creating two equal halves.
Spread the softened butter evenly over both cut sides of the bread.
Apply the yellow mustard over the butter on both bread halves.
Layer half of the sliced boiled ham on the bottom half of the bread.
Add half of the sliced roasted pork on top of the ham layer.
Place half of the Swiss cheese slices over the pork.
Scatter half of the dill pickle chips over the cheese.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ham, pork, cheese, and pickles on the bottom half.
Place the top half of the bread on the sandwich to close it.
Preheat a panini press or griddle over medium-high heat until hot.
Cut the sandwich into 8 equal portions with a sharp knife.
Place each sandwich portion on the hot press or griddle. If using a panini press, close it and grill for 4–5 minutes until the bread is golden and crispy. If using a griddle, grill 2–3 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula to ensure even contact and melting of the cheese.
Transfer the grilled sandwiches to a serving platter. Serve warm immediately.
