How to Make a Tampa Style Cuban Sandwich My Way on the Evo Flattop Grill

Cuban bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white sandwich bread

Whole grain bread adds fiber while white bread is more accessible.

roast pork

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: pork loin

Turkey offers a leaner option while pork loin is more budget-friendly.

Swiss cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories, while American cheese is often less expensive.

pickles

🥗Healthier: cucumber slices

💰Cheaper: relish

Cucumber slices provide a fresh crunch, and relish is a cost-effective alternative.

Cut the ends off the Cuban bread and slice it lengthwise without cutting all the way through.

Spread a mayo and mustard mix on the inside of the bread.

Layer dill pickles, Swiss cheese, salami, roast pork, ham, thinly sliced tomatoes, and lettuce inside the bread.

Melt garlic butter and coat both sides of the sandwich with it.

Preheat the EVO flat top grill to medium-low heat.

Place the sandwich on the grill and press down with a pan for about 2.5 minutes.

Flip the sandwich and press the other side for another 2.5 minutes until crispy and cheese is melted.
