These Cuban Garlic Bread Sandwiches combine crispy, buttery garlic bread with a flavorful filling of smoky pulled pork, savory ham, melted Swiss cheese, tangy pickles, and a zingy yellow mustard finish. Perfectly toasted rolls hold all the savory goodness together for a melty, hearty sandwich that’s great for any meal or casual gathering.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Rolls:

  • 4 submarine rolls

For the Garlic Butter:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups pulled pork, shredded
  • 1 cup sliced ham
  • 1/2 cup dill pickles, sliced and chopped
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rolls: Preheat your oven to low broil. Slice the submarine rolls lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through so the rolls stay hinged. Place the rolls cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet to get ready for toasting.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt. Stir well to integrate the flavors. This aromatic garlic butter will add a rich and savory base to your rolls.
  3. Toast the Rolls: Brush the garlic butter generously onto the cut sides of the rolls. Place them under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes until the tops are lightly golden and crispy. Watch closely to prevent burning as they toast quickly.
  4. Make the Filling: On a large cutting board, pile the pulled pork, sliced ham, chopped pickles, and shredded Swiss cheese. Use a large knife to finely chop everything together to combine the flavors and textures evenly. Stir in the yellow mustard thoroughly to add a tangy zing to the mixture.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Spoon the filling generously into the warm, toasted rolls. Press the filling slightly so that the sandwich holds together well. Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, melty, and crispy texture contrast at its best.

Notes

  • Keep a close eye while broiling the rolls to avoid burning as they can toast quickly.
  • You can substitute Swiss cheese with mozzarella or provolone if preferred, but Swiss gives the best nutty flavor.
  • For added heat, consider adding a few slices of pickled jalapeños to the filling.
  • These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh but can be wrapped tightly and reheated gently to preserve texture.
