NOTE: If you don’t have Cuban-style roast pork put your regular roast pork in a bowl, prepare the seasonings, see instructions below, and mix.
- Slice the Cuban bread lengthwise. Spread the yellow mustard on the top and bottom halves. Place the Swiss cheese on top and bottom halves. Layer the pickles, ham, then roast pork. Close the sandwich halves. Cover the top and bottom with the butter and place in a panini press or large cast iron skillet. Cut the sandwich in half if it won’t fit.
- Cook until crisp, about 10 minutes.
- Slice into 8 slices. Serve.
