A slightly different twist on the Cuban Sandwich, invented for the "If You Build It, They Will Eat It Challenge, Susie's World Tour 2019

• Ready In: 13 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1  loaf  French bread, small, about 8 inches
• 2  tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2  tablespoons  sofrito sauce, jarred
• 1  teaspoon honey
• 1  tablespoon mustard
• 4  slices ham
• 4  slices  roast pork
• 3  dill pickles, siced
• 4  slices sweet onions
• 4  slices swiss cheese
• 8  green olives, sliced
• 1  tablespoon butter, melted

Directions

1. Slice French loaf in half lengthwise to make a sandwich. (If loaf is very fat, slice off narrow pieces from the inner part of each slice to make a thinner sandwich.).
2. Mix together mayonnaise, sofrito sauce, and honey to make a sauce. Spread this sauce on both sides of sandwich. Then spread on mustard.
3. Place ham, roast pork, dill pickles, sweet onion, green olives, and Swiss cheese on bottom layer of sandwich. Put sandwich together, brush both sides with melted butter, and wrap smoothly and tightly in foil.
4. Place wrapped sandwich, bottom side down, in preheated (medium heat) skillet, and press down with something heavy, such as a foil-wrapped brick.) I use a cast iron skillet with large tomato juice cans inside.
5. When you hear the butter sizzling, leave sandwich 3-4 minutes, then flip it onto it's top and press again, leaving it for 3-4 minutes more. Remove sandwich from heat and let rest for 3 minutes. Unwrap, slice, and enjoy!
