Leftover Pulled Pork Cuban Sandwich
Pulled pork Cuban sandwiches are a fantastic way to use up leftover pulled pork. This is my take on these classic South Florida sandwich. This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner for just one or a whole family.
Servings: 1 Sandwich
Ingredients
- One 6 inch French roll
- ⅓ cup Swiss cheese freshly grated
- ⅓ cup BBQ pulled pork
- 2 pieces deli honey ham
- ¼ cup bread and butter pickles
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
Instructions
- Place a medium cast iron pan in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Cut open a french roll, but do not cut all the way though. Make sure the two pieces are connected by a hinge.
- Place the roll on a large piece of tin foil.
- On the bottom portion of the roll, add cheese, pulled pork and top with ham.
- Tightly wrap the sandwich closed with the tin foil and note which side is the bottom of the sandwich.
- Place the wrapped sandwich in the preheated cast iron pan. Ensure the bottom of the sandwich is in contact with the pan. Cover the sandwich with a tin foil wrapped brick or cast iron press.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Carefully take out the pan and sandwich from the oven. Remove the brick and carefully unwrap the sandwich from the foil.
- Open the sandwich and add pickles and yellow mustard.
- Cut in half and enjoy.
Notes
- If you don’t have a brick or cast iron press, you can use another cast iron pan or a panini press to achieve the desired texture.
