CUBAN GRILLED CHEESE

A golden, buttery melt stacked with smoky ham, roasted pork, and tangy pickles, pressed together with Swiss cheese and a swipe of zesty mustard. It’s the comfort of a grilled cheese with the bold, savory punch of a classic Cuban

Sauce

1 large Garlic clove

3 tbsp Orange juice

1 tbsp Lime juice

1 tbsp Olive oil

2 tbsp Cilantro, freshroughly chopped

⅛ tsp Oregano

⅛ tsp Onion powcer

1 pinch Ground cumin

1 pinch Salt and pepperto taste

1 cup Pulled pork

4 slices Sourdough bread

2 tbsp Butter

2 tbsp Yellow mustard

4 slices Swiss cheese

6 Pickles

4 slices Honey baked ham

The garlic, citrus juices, olive oil, cilantro, oregano, onion granules, cumin, salt, and pepper are blended into a bright, aromatic mojo sauce. That sauce is then mixed into the pulled pork to infuse it with bold Cuban flavor.

Butter the outside of each slice of sourdough and place in frying pan, butter side down.

Spread yellow mustard, lay half of the cheese slices, pickles, ham, divide the pulled pork and finish with another slice of Swiss cheese.

Top with remaining piece of bread and fry in hot pan on medium high heat to allow the sandwich to fry slowly for around 4-5 minutes until the bread is golden and the cheese is melting.

Flip each sandwich and fry on the other side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
