PLs Cuban Sandwich

As promised, today I am going to feature my version of the cuban sandwich.  Remember to make extras of the Simple Pork Chops because you'll want to have enough to try this out--you may even convince your mind that you are somewhere on South Beach or sitting in Havana!

Equipment:

Toaster Oven

Sharp knife

Ingredients:

Leftover or Freshly-made Pork chops, sliced in half

Thin Sliced Ham

Gouda, Havarti, or Munster type cheese

Italian baguette (this is a lighter baguette, less chewy and less dense than a French baguette)

Mayonnaise

Mustard (I use Gulden's Brown)

Kosher Dill Pickles

Instructions:

1. Wash Your Hands.

2. Slice your baguette into thirds, cut in half and toast lightly.

(Buy an extra baguette and freeze it pre-sliced for future garlic bread or other sandwiches)

3. Carefully slice the pork chops in half, approx 1/8" in width.

4. Begin your assembly:

--Mayo and mustard, both sides

--pickles, one side

--ham, one side

--pork slices on top of ham

5. Briefly toast again until cheese is softened.

6. Combine both sides of the sandwich.

7. Dig in! Crunchy, warm, and so satisfying!
