Whenever we buy pork for roasting, we always make for two extra people so that we’ll be sure we have leftovers for sandwiches the following day. Cubanos are made using Cuban bread, which, as far as I know, is not available in Malta. I used a French baguette which is pretty delicious! Stuffed with pork, ham, Swiss cheese, Dijon mustard and pickles these are the ultimate grilled cheese sandwiches. They are best served warm, but are equally good cold, before toasting.
