Cubano Sandwich

First one in a little while as I’ve been focussing on my upcoming competition which I’m sure I will be posting some videos up of soon, BUT anyway this one is an absolute CRACKER!!

I was thoroughly inspired after re-watching one of my favourite films “Chef” with great tasting sandwiches I instantly thought “I need that in my life” so I went and replicated this visual love, this food I knew would be EPIC and it is!
SO, so easy to make the only thing you might need is a Panini press or something similar I reckon a George Foreman would work if you’re really stuck!
What I really wanted to say is that the general population might think this is a “bad, unhealthy fattening” meal but it’s not it’s moderate in calories but I used organic and free range ingredients making it a micronutrient dense meal that’s packing a flavour BOMB!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I can’t actually explain how good this tastes!! Words were created to describe feelings, though this makes dictionaries explode! This Sh*t tastes EPIC! Crispy, flavoursome bread giving way to a succulent ham and melted cheese centre that has those perfectly matched sweet & salty flavours of the gherkin and mustard! Just please go make this, take photos name your children Cubano the sandwich of all sandwiches
