Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
  2. Slice the Cuban bread in half horizontally and spread the garlic butter mixture on the cut sides.
  3. On one slice of bread, spread a thin layer of yellow mustard evenly.
  4. Layer the smoked ham, salami or roasted pork, pickle slices, and cheese on top of the mustard.
  5. Place the other slice of bread on top, with the buttered side facing out, and press gently.
  6. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat for about 3–5 minutes.
  7. Grill the sandwiches for 3–4 minutes on one side, applying pressure, then flip and grill the other side for another 3–4 minutes.
  8. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for about 1 minute. Slice in half and serve warm.
