Cuban Grill-Pressed Sandwich
Go beyond the mainstream ham and cheese by bringing a variation to the zesty Cuban sandwich to your menu. The “Mixto,” as it was originally called, was created in the 1890s for the cigar workers as they walked to and from work in Tampa, Florida. Serve thin slices of turkey and smoked ham, Grande Sliced Provolone, zesty yellow mustard and dill pickle slabs on ciabatta bread, grill-pressed until golden.
