cuban sandwiches are easy to make. especially since i am sure you have all the ingredients in your kitchen. it's a great last minute meal and i guarantee it will impress your family and friends. if you don't have a panini machine to press the sandwich; you can use a flattop or a big enough frying pan. then smash the sandwich down with a foiled covered brick.
ingredients:
soften butter
american mustard
mayo
swiss cheese
ham
pickles
salt/pepper
french baguette
take the first three ingredients and fold them together in a bowl. season with salt and pepper. slice the baguette lengthwise and spread a generous amount of the mustard butter on both sides of the bread. on the bottom of the bread lay the cheese, ham, pickles, finishing with another layer of cheese on top. fold the bread over and press the sandwich down. place it on your panini machine and press until the cheese is melted and ham is warmed through. cut in half and serve with sweet potato fries, fried plantains, chips or cole slaw. sandwiches can be made a few days in advance, wrapped tightly in saran wrap. this is actually better because it allows all the flavors from the ham, pickles, cheese and spread melt together and taste a little better. (sorry i do not have a picture of the finish sandwich. i got too excited and forgot to snap a picture. i will try to get one up soon :) promise! )
