Smith Family Tampa Cuban Sandwiches
Our Smith Family Tampa Cuban Sandwiches are a family tradition! Unlike the traditional recipe, we add salami and an herby garlic butter that makes the whole sandwich even more flavorful. They're made in under 15 minutes and baked in the oven for convenience. I hope you love them as much as we do!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon salted butter room temp
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon packed fresh cilantro finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon packed fresh parsley finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 large loaf cuban bread
- 3 tablespoon yellow mustard
- ¼ lb swiss cheese
- 1 lb pulled mojo pork recipe below if needed
- ½ lb deli ham thinly sliced
- ¼ lb salami thinly sliced
- ½ cup dill pickles sliced lengthwise
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Combine butter, garlic paste, cilantro, parsley, and oregano in a small bowl and stir. Set aside.
- Slice cuban bread in half and smear the inside of one half with the herb butter and the other inside half with the yellow mustard
- Add pickles to the yellow mustard side and top with swiss cheese.
- On the garlic butter side, add mojo pork, sliced deli ham, and salami
- Place the sandwich, open faced, on a baking sheet and put in the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese starts to melt and the salami begins to crisp. Take the baking sheet out and close the sandwich.
- Put a piece of parchment paper or tinfoil over the top of the sandwich and place another baking sheet on top to weigh it down. I recommend using a cast iron pan or another heavy duty oven-safe dish.
- Bake for another 5 minutes until the sandwich is heated through and the bread is crispy and toasted.
