Description

These Sheet Pan Cuban Sandwiches (Cubanos) are layered with deli meats, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard, baked on slider rolls, and finished with a buttery poppy seed topping for a melty, crispy, crowd-pleasing dish.


Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Mustard (yellow or Dijon)

3 Tablespoons Mayonnaise

12 small Sandwich Rolls / Slider Rolls

8 ounces thinly sliced Swiss Cheese

1 cup thinly sliced Dill Pickles

3/4 pound thinly sliced Deli Meat (ham, salami, turkey, or mix)

3 Tablespoons Butter, melted

  2. Whisk together mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
  3. Slice rolls horizontally without separating them if connected.

  5. Layer half the cheese, pickles, deli meat, then remaining cheese on the rolls. Place the top halves back on.
  6. Slice through rolls to create individual sandwiches and place on prepared pan.
  7. Cover with foil and bake 18–22 minutes until heated through and cheese melts.
