Cuban sandwich basically is a popular variation of the ham and cheese sandwich, it was created for early Cuban migrants in Florida as well as Cuban cigar factory and sugar mill workers in Cuba during the late 1800s.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf Cuban Bread or any long bread like baguette
- 6–8 slices glazed ham
- 6–8 slices roasted pork
- 3–4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 pcs pickles, thinly sliced
- Yellow mustard
- Mayonnaise
Instructions
- Slice long bread lengthwise and spread mustard on one side and mayonnaise on the other side.
- Fill middle with layers of pickles, roasted pork, glazed ham and Swiss cheese.

Now that is a sandwich! It might even fill up my teenage boys, well maybe… might need 2. Take care, BAM

Having lived in Florida, I certainly have eaten my share of Cuban sandwiches.
Cuban sandwich is probably my go-to sandwich for pork leftovers after coming to the US. What a delicious combination of flavors! But I confess seeing this yummy sandwich has made me think of something else I’m now craving for: a “serranito” (pork, serrano ham and fried cubanelle peppers sandwich).

Easily one of my favorites!
Ham, pork and swiss.. sounds fantastic. Would any sort of bread/bun work??
Great looking sandwich Raymund!

I’ve never had a cuban sandwich- I’m wondering if there would be a good vegetarian substitute for the pork?

I love Cuban sandwiches. I’m not even a big fan of mustard but on this sandwich it’s perfect. I like eating mine with sweet and spicy pickles.
I’m salivating! I love Cuban sandwiches. I don’t even like pickles or Swiss cheese, but I eat it all if I’m having a Cuban.
