Medianoche "Cuban" Sandwich | Cuban With A Twist | Episode 16

Swiss cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while still providing flavor.

roast pork

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken

💰Cheaper: pork loin

Grilled chicken offers a leaner option without sacrificing taste.

sweet bread

🥗Healthier: whole wheat bread

💰Cheaper: regular sandwich bread

Whole wheat bread increases fiber content.

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey ham

💰Cheaper: bologna

Turkey ham is lower in fat, while bologna is more affordable.

Slice the sweet bread into sandwich-sized pieces.

Spread butter on the outside of each slice of bread.

Layer roast pork, ham, and Swiss cheese on the inside of one slice.

Add pickles and mustard on top of the cheese.

Top with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out.

Heat a skillet or sandwich press over medium heat.

Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Flip the sandwich and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes more.

Remove from heat and let cool for a minute before slicing.

Serve warm and enjoy.
