Recipe: Paula Deen's Pressed Cuban Sandwich for Amnie Lalla, Florida

PAULA DEEN'S PRESSED CUBAN SANDWICH

1 loaf French bread
Mayonnaise
Dijon mustard
1/4 pound thinly sliced ham
4 slices Swiss cheese
Kosher dill pickles, sliced
Butter, for grilling

Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Spread one half with mayonnaise and the other with mustard. Layer the ham and Swiss cheese on 1 half of the bread. Layer the pickle slices over the cheese. Top with the other bread half.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat enough butter to coat the cooking surface. Place the sandwich in the pan and weight with another heavy pan or a brick wrapped in foil and grill until the cheese is melted.

Cut the loaf to make 4 sandwiches.
