The Cuban sandwich, also known as “el Cubano,” is a classic and beloved sandwich that originated in the cafes and lunch counters of Miami’s Cuban-American community. This sandwich features layers of thinly sliced ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard, all nestled between two slices of Cuban bread and grilled to perfection. The combination of flavors and textures in the Cuban sandwich creates a truly delicious and satisfying meal that has become a popular choice in many restaurants and cafes throughout the United States and beyond. In this recipe, we will show you how to make an authentic and delicious Cuban sandwich at home using a few simple ingredients and easy-to-follow steps.
