Ingredients
- 1 loaf Cuban bread
- 1 lb Roasted pork
- 1/2 lb Ham
- 8 slices Dairy-free Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup Pickles
- 4 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
- 1Slice the 1 loaf of Cuban bread into 4 equal portions, then slice each portion horizontally to create a top and bottom half for each sandwich.
- 2Spread 4 tablespoons of yellow mustard evenly on the inside of both the top and bottom halves of all 4 sandwich portions.
- 3On the bottom half of each sandwich, layer 1/4 lb of roasted pork, 1/8 lb of ham, 2 slices of dairy-free Swiss cheese, and 1/8 cup of pickles.
- 4Place the top half of the bread onto each sandwich, completing the assembly.
