Recipe Summary Chef John's Cuban Sandwich

Here's how I build a Cuban, or Cubano, sandwich. I like to use pulled pork. Carnitas would work too. These ingredients and amounts are open to your own personal preferences, but here's the general idea.

Ingredients | Jimmy John's Italian Night Club Sandwich

¼ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup mustard

1 pinch cayenne pepper

1 (8 ounce) loaf Cuban bread

8 slices Swiss cheese

6 thin slices smoked fully-cooked ham

1 ½ cups cooked pulled pork, heated

1 large dill pickle, sliced thinly lengthwise

2 tablespoons butter, or as needed

Directions

Mix mayonnaise, mustard, and cayenne together in a bowl to make the sauce.

Trim off ends of bread. Cut loaf in half and evenly split bread to make tops and bottoms of 2 sandwiches. Spread each half on both sides generously with the mayo/mustard sauce.

Divide sandwich ingredients between the two bottom halves in this order: 2 slices Swiss cheese, 3 slices ham, hot cooked pork, pickle slices, and 2 more slices of Swiss cheese. Place tops on sandwiches.

Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches in skillet and press down with a heavy weight (such as another skillet or foil-wrapped bricks). Toast sandwiches until bread is crisp and filling is heated through, 3 or 4 minutes per side.
