"The Cuban sandwich is one of Florida's most popular foods, and its roots date back to the late 1800s, when Cuban immigrants brought the mixto to the bustling cities of Miami and Tampa. Though made many different ways, the true version you're most likely to encounter is stacked with ham, mojo-roasted pork, pickles, mustard, and Swiss cheese, then pressed until thin and melty on perfectly soft, semi-crusty Cuban bread (no grill marks)."
"Cuban sandwiches can be difficult to make at home because one of the two types of pork -- mojo roasted pork -- takes hours, if not days, to prepare. If you plan ahead and have a decent panini press, you might be able to swing it; but for something more casual, a shortcut might be the better way. These sheet pan Cuban sliders, made with porchetta, ham, a garlicky mustard sauce, Swiss cheese, and pickles, make it easy to serve a crowd."
The Cuban sandwich originated in late 1800s Florida when Cuban immigrants brought the mixto to Miami and Tampa. The classic sandwich features ham, mojo-roasted pork, pickles, mustard, and Swiss on soft semi-crusty Cuban bread, pressed until thin and melty. Mojo pork requires hours or days to prepare, making home versions difficult. Sheet pan Cuban sliders use porchetta and deli ham with a garlicky mustard sauce, Swiss, and pickles on Hawaiian rolls to replicate the pressed sandwich. The sliders bake on sheet pans and are finished gently pressed, offering an easy, crowd-friendly shortcut that serves many without long pork preparation.
