A Cuban sandwich is a popular sandwich that originated in Cuba and is widely enjoyed in Florida, especially in Miami. It typically consists of layers of roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard, all pressed between two slices of Cuban bread. The bread is key, as it is soft yet sturdy enough to hold the fillings. The sandwich is often grilled or pressed, giving it a crispy exterior while keeping the inside warm and melty. Variations may include additional ingredients like salami or mayonnaise, but the classic version remains a beloved staple in Cuban cuisine.
