Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 loaf Cuban bread, or French or Italian bread
• 1 lb roast pork, cooked and sliced
• 1 lb sweet ham, sliced
• 1 lb sliced Swiss cheese
• 8 dill pickles slices
• 1/2 lb salami slices
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1-2 tbsp butter

Instructions

1. Rub the outer side of the bread and halve it lengthwise. Lay it on a work surface with the open side up. 
2. Spread mustard on half of the bread, and butter on the other half of the bread loaf. Then add roast pork and 2 or 3 layers of sweet ham, followed by Swiss cheese and pickles, finally add salami. 
3. Season with salt and pepper. Close sandwich and wrap it in foil, then press gently. Repeat with the remaining loaves.
4. Heat up a cast iron skillet and heat it over medium heat, then coat with olive oil. Place the assembled sandwiches on the pan and place a heavy pot or pan on top, pressing down firmly and cook for about 10 minutes (5 minutes for each side). Cook until the cheese has melted, bread is crispy, and sandwiches are about 1/3 – 1/2 of its original size.
5. Remove foil from the sandwiches. Place on a platter, slice sandwiches and serve while hot. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

If you don't have leftover roast pork, you'll need to make it from scratch:
Preheat the oven to 450°F and set aside a sheet pan.
Mix the seasoning such as dry oregano, salt, pepper and olive oil in a small bowl.
Add the pork to a medium-large bowl with the mixed seasoning and toss to coat.
Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for about 30 minutes.
Transfer the marinated pork to a sheet pan. Roast the pork for about 20 to 25 minutes until it’s cooked through (internal temperature reaches 140°F on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center).
Remove from the oven and rest for 5 -8 minutes before slicing.
