A Cuban is most often a ham and cheese grilled or pressed panini sandwich. It originated in Florida’s Cuban immigrant communities. Depending on where it is prepared, it can be made from many types of bread including sourdough baguettes, ciabatta, focaccia, and michetta. The main ingredients usually include a sourdough bâtard or a “torpedo loaf,” ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard.
I have found this toasted sandwich is great on Abigail’s Oven Country Loaf. As you can see, there is not a lot to this sandwich, but the flavor it has all put together is nothing short of amazing. Simple and delicious.
