Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, fresh minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Mix until smooth and well-blended.
  2. Slice the Cuban bread in half lengthwise and brush the garlic butter mixture onto both cut sides.
  3. Spread a thin layer of yellow mustard on the bottom slice of each sandwich. Layer the smoked ham, followed by salami or roasted pork, and pickle slices. Add mozzarella or Swiss cheese on top.
  4. Place the top slice of bread on each sandwich, ensuring the buttered side is facing out. Press down gently.
  5. Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Grill the sandwich for approximately 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cheese starts to melt.
  6. Flip the sandwich carefully and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden and cheese is fully melted.
  7. Remove from pan and let them rest on a cutting board for about 1 minute before slicing in half and serving warm.
