My Interpretation of a "Cuban Sandwich" is a twist on the traditional sandwich, which usually features ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard on Cuban bread. My version is made with round bread, hollowed out and stuffed with roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, and cornichons. A chipotle mayonnaise adds a nice kick and the sandwich is baked until crispy in the oven. This sandwich is perfect for lunch on-the-go or enjoyed with a side salad for a satisfying meal.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.In a blender, blend chipotle chiles and mayonnaise until smooth.
3.On the bottom half of the bread, spread the chipotle mayonnaise.
4.Layer ham, Swiss cheese, cornichons, and roast pork on top.
5.Season with salt and drizzle with olive oil.
6.Place the top half of the bread on top and wrap the sandwich tightly in foil.
7.Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is crispy.
8.Slice and serve hot.
