The Cuban Sandwich is composed of Cuban bread spread with a blend of mayonnaise, mustard, and hot sauce, then layered with Swiss cheese, dill pickle planks, ham, pulled pork, and an additional slice of Swiss cheese. It's cooked in butter on a griddle pressed flat to create a crispy crust while warming and melting the fillings. This sandwich combines creamy, tangy, smoky, and savory flavors with a satisfying contrast of textures.
