Cubano

Layer the ingredients meticulously on the bottom half: start with the Swiss cheese, followed by the sliced ham, the roast pork, and finally the dill pickles in a single, even layer. Top with the remaining half of the bread.

Spread the softened butter generously over the top and bottom exteriors of the bread.

Heat a large cast-iron skillet or panini press over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the pan.

If using a skillet, place a heavy object (like another cast-iron pan wrapped in foil or a brick) on top of the sandwich to press it flat. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the bottom is dark golden brown and crispy.

Carefully flip the sandwich, replace the weight, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until both sides are perfectly crisped and the Swiss cheese is thoroughly melted. Cut in half diagonally and serve immediately.
