Up next for National Grilled Cheese month is a simple grilled cheese take on the Cuban sandwich where instead of using a Cuban bun and cooking it pressed style we use bread and butter and cook it grilled style. The Cuban sandwich consists of a really tasty combo of roast pork (preferably Cuban roast pork ), ham, pickle, mustard and plenty of melted swiss cheese. Although this is just a minor variation on the Cuban sandwich, it is a good one and one worthy of making an appearance National Grilled Cheese month; I mean you really can’t go wrong taking an already amazing sandwich and wrapping it in toasted buttery bread.
Serve with Cuban mojo , a garlic and sour orange sauce, for your dipping pleasure.

Anonymous: A sourdough is one of my favourite breads for grilled cheese but I also like a light rye for them.
my boyfriend has been craving a good Cuban for weeks, and while I hate both mustard and pickles myself, I think I'll make this for him soon!
