Cuban Pulled Pork Sandwiches
You can make these delicious Cuban pork sandwiches in under 10 minutes on a busy night when you pull leftover pork from the fridge. Top with tangy pickles and a spread of mustard on crusty fresh bread for a delicious dinner everyone at the table will love.
Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover mojo Cuban pulled pork or store bought container of pulled pork
- 4 crusty but soft sandwich rolls or one large Cuban or French bread loaf
- 8 slices havarti cheese
- Bread and butter pickles
- Dijon mustard or yellow mustard
Instructions
- Gently reheat the leftover pork in the microwave and set aside.
- Slice the bread as needed to form individual sandwich portions and line them up open face on a broiler-safe baking sheet.
- Preheat the broiler and then toast the bread until golden brown, about 1 - 2 minutes. Watch carefully, it can burn quickly.
- Place the slices of havarti cheese on the bottom halves of the sandwich rolls. Put the pan back under the broiler to melt the cheese for 30 seconds - 1 minute.
- To assemble the sandwiches, pile the pork on the side of the bun with the cheese. Top with the pickles. Spread Dijon mustard to taste on the top half of the bun and then close the sandwich.
- OPTIONAL: Cuban sandwiches are often pressed. Once you assemble the sandwich, you could use the back of a clean baking pan to press your sandwiches before serving.
