The key to a great Cuban sandwich is the bread. It needs to be super-crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. Buy the best mixed-grain bread you can find for this recipe. You'll love how well it complements the yellow mustard, deli ham, turkey breast, Swiss cheese, and of course, the finishing touch, some unsweetened dill pickles. The best part is these sandwiches can be made in just 8 minutes. You can serve these sandwiches with a side of thinly sliced red or green cabbage slaw dressed with some fresh lemon juice, canola oil, salt, and pepper.
