A welcome change from the ubiquitous hamburger slider, this mini sandwich has all the flavor of a great Cuban. The key here is to crisp the bread by warming the sandwiches in a hot jelly-roll pan and adding weight on top of the bread.
Great sandwiches and so easy to put together! I made a couple modifications: I couldn't find deli roasted pork so I just doubled the ham. I also used Havarti cheese instead of Swiss since that was what I had at home. I also just thinly sliced some dill pickle spears to place on the sandwich instead of chopping them up. And to distribute the weight a bit more evenly, I placed another sheet pan on top of the sandwiches, then the cast iron skillet on top of the pan. The only thing keeping this from a 5 star recipe for me is that I do wish the bread was toasted a bit more. Next time I might try toasting the bread lightly before assembling the sandwiches.
Made these for Christmas and they were super yummy! Crispy and unique variation on the poppyseed ham and cheese sandwiches from way back.
