The Cuban sandwich (also called a Cubano) is made with ham, roast pork, pickles and swiss cheese all generously stacked on Cuban bread. Then the sandwich is then lightly buttered and pressed until toasty. Make a large sandwich and cut it into strips or triangles for a delicious appetizer that will fly off the table.
