The first step in a great Cubano is layering the spreads. You want to place mustard on the bottom bun, and mayo on the top. This is the foundation for all the other layers. The layers are thoughtful and deliciously placed, so pay attention.

On top of the yellow mustard, place your ham and roast pork. There is some debate about whether the pickle mixture should go between the layers of ham and pork, but I prefer it on top, where the cheese can melt into the various crevices and hold it all together.

You are going to take diced pickles and diced banana peppers and mix them together, then use them to create the next delicious layer in this sandwich. Then cover that with Swiss Cheese!

Now that your sandwich is assembled, the top bun in place, it is time to make it really special by squishing it all together. But first, you want to brush the top with butter.

We are ready for the pan. You have layers and layers of flavor, and you could stop here and just eat it, but the real magic happens when you heat everything up and squish it all together. So it is now time to put it into a sandwich press like a panini press, or into a large skillet.
