Classic Cuban Midnight (Medianoche) Sandwich

Step 1
Split the sandwich rolls in half, and spread mustard and mayonnaise liberally onto the cut sides.

Step 2
On each sandwich, place and equal amount of Swiss cheese, ham and pork in exactly that order. Place a few pickles onto each one, and put the top of the roll onto the sandwich. Brush the tops with melted butter.

Step 3
Press each sandwich in a sandwich press heated to medium-high heat. If a sandwich press is not available, use a large skillet over medium-high heat, and press the sandwiches down using a sturdy plate or skillet. Some indoor grills may be good for this also. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, keeping sandwiches pressed. If using a skillet, you may want to flip them once for even browning.

Step 4
Slice diagonally and serve hot.
