Cuban Sandwich (My Way) image

Cuban Sandwich - also known as Cubano, to me is a fancy grilled ham and cheese sandwich with other ingredients added on. I use my homemade Cuban Bread Roll recipe to make it even more authentic, but French bread can be used. Sofrito is a Cuban salsa and like most Cuban food is not hot spicy but full of flavors; see my note in directions.
