Cuba - Medianoche Sandwich

This sandwich uses the Medianoche bread I made in my last post. It's similar to the Cuban sandwich apart from the bread used.

Ingredients:


4-6 slices pork loin
2 medianoche bread rolls
12 cup yellow mustard
4-6 slices ham
6-8 slices swiss cheese
4 dill pickles
4 tablespoons butter



Cut the bread rolls in half and then spread some mustard on each half. Now you can start adding the filling. Cheese, ham, pork and sliced dill pickles.





It looks like quite a tasty looking sandwich already but now it needs to be cooked. Melt the butter in a pan and add the sandwiches. Use a heavy press (or like us a heavy pan) to squash the sandwich while it cooks.


After a few minutes on each side the sandwich should be crisp and browned. Slice into chunks. 

 

This sandwich was great! Meaty and filling with the classic combo of mustard and pickles. I loved it. It is a hassle to make the medianoche bread but it was worth it, it has a sweet flavour and a dense texture that soaked up all the mustard and made for a delicious sandwich.
