Directions:

  1. Cut Cuban bread into 6 8-inch pieces.
  2. Split bread lengthwise.
  3. Spread mustard on six halves of the bread.

  5. Layer ham, pork, Swiss cheese, and salami on the mustard halves of the bread.
  6. Layer pickles on top of salami; top with mayo halves of bread.
  7. Can be eaten cold, but tastes better hot pressed .
  8. To press: Heat a counter top grill (like a George Foreman grill) and place sandwich between the plates.
  9. Press down hard on the sandwich, squeezing the halves together tightly.

  11. Alternate method: Heat a heavy pan on top of the stove on medium heat.
