Cuban Sandwich

I LOVE toasted/grilled sandwiches from McAlisters, Subway, Quizno's, etc... so I thought I should learn how to make one at home. Well... I did it! I made a "Cuban Sandwich" tonight that is SO easy & delicious!

Cuban Sandwich

Ingredients: (I will include measurements, although it's all pretty much by eye)
1 Cup Mayonnaise
5 Tbs Italian Dressing
4 hoagie rolls
4 Tbs mustard
1/2 pound(ish) deli turkey meat
1/2 pound(ish) deli ham meat
1/2 pound(ish) sliced Swiss cheese
1 cup(ish) Shredded Monterery Jack cheese
1 cup pickle slices
1/2 cup olive oil

Directions:
In small bowl, mix together Italian dressing & mayo
Slice Hoagie rolls in half (lengthwise & width)
Spread mayo mixture on each hoagie roll
Spread mustard on each hoagie roll
Arrange layers of ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese on each roll.
Top with hand full of shredded swiss on each roll.
Arrange pickle slices on each roll
Close sandwich and brush olive oil on outsides of roll.
Heat non stick skillet on medium-high heat.
Place sandwiches in skillet (2 at a time) and cook for 2 minutes pressing down on sandwiches with the bottom of a plate covered in aluminum foil (to press sandwich). Flip sandwiches and cook 2 minutes on other side.
Cut sandwiches in half and enjoy! : )
(If the "guts" - meat & cheese - aren't warm enough, you can nook them in the microwave for 15-30 seconds)
