Why this works

A Cuban sandwich is ham, pork, Swiss cheese, mustard and pickles. Here the pickles do the job of the bread as well. Halved lengthwise, a jumbo dill pickle is just the right size to hold a warm roll of meat and melting cheese.

Good to know

Pat the pickles dry with a paper towel before you build the sandwiches, so they don't slide apart.
