When I first came to work in Glendale, California, I was introduced to two things I came to love, Porto’s Bakery, and their Cuban sandwiches.
What is a Cuban sandwich you may ask? Well, a Cuban sandwich has roast pork, ham, cheese, pickles and mustard on Cuban bread, which is similar to a submarine bread, but it is pressed in something similar to a Panini press without the ridges. If you have never had one, please find a Cuban bakery or sandwich shop and get one. You, too, will fall in love.
My mother used to make Monte Cristo sandwiches when I was particularly well-behaved or turned in a really good report card. Monte Cristo’s are an older kind of sandwich, basically, a ham and cheese sandwich that has been dipped in an egg wash, pan grilled and is served with currant jelly. They can be on any kind of bread, and very good.
Whenever I have some leftover pork roast, I always try to make Cuban sandwiches. But, this time when I had leftover pork, I had sourdough bread, which I also love. I decided to combine the two, and have a French Cuban Sandwich.
