Its already nearing the end of May which means that kids will be out of school soon and summer break is just around the corner.  My teen son will be entering high school this upcoming school year (YIKES!) and my toddler twins will be going to another grade level in preschool.  With 3 boys in the house for the summer and living in Florida, I certainly don’t want to spend my entire summer cooking over a hot stove.  Last year we partnered with Land O’Lakes to promote their new Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread, so we are happy to share their comprehensive recipe collection, including soup recipes, that can easily be paired with any sandwich.

The pairing of soup and sandwich is a quick summertime meal which can please even the most picky eater.  Having a Cuban father, I was great to find a  Cuban Inspired Pressed Cheese Sandwich recipe within the Land O’Lakes online recipes.  With family in New York and Miami, where some of the best Cuban sandwiches are made in the States, this simple recipe makes it easy to create this Latin fused creation anywhere and any day of the week.

Ingredients
1 (1-pound) loaf French bread, ends trimmed, cut into 4 (5-inch) sections
4 tablespoons whole grain mustard
8 (3/4-ounce) slices Land O Lakes® Deli American Cheese
8 ounces sliced deli ham
8 pickle planks
3 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Butter, melted

Directions 
  1. Heat panini press. Cut each bread section horizontally, leaving 1 side attached.
    • If you don’t have a panini press, heat skillet over medium heat. Place 1 or 2 sandwiches into skillet. Place another skillet on top of sandwiches to flatten them. Cook, turning once, until golden brown and cheese is melted (6 to 8 minutes). Repeat with remaining sandwiches.
  2. To assemble each sandwich, open cut bread; spread bottom with 1 tablespoon mustard. Top with 1 cheese slice, 1/4 ham slices, 2 pickle planks and 1 cheese slice. Press top of cut bread down over filling. Brush outside of bread with about 2 teaspoons butter.
  3. Place 2 sandwiches into press. Close press; cook until golden brown and cheese is melted (6 to 8 minutes). Repeat with remaining sandwiches.

Land O’Lakes uses only high quality ingredients to make a smooth, fresh-tasting, delicious cheese, every time you slice it.

Available in white or yellow, and in reduced fat 2% milk and 30% less sodium varieties, it’s sliced fresh at the deli just how you like it.  It’s no wonder when people want the best in deli cheese, they ask for the hands-down favorite, LAND O LAKES® Deli Cheese.

  2. I love Cuban sandwiches! One of my favorites to get when visiting Florida and this seems like an easy recipe to make.

  3. Wow! What a great grill cheese category they have. I like the herbed grilled cheese sandwich the best. And what perfect timing because we’re having tomato soup and grilled sandwiches for dinner!

  10. The Caramel Broiled Oatmeal Cake sounds very interesting. I entered on the rafflecopter with my Facebook username (Mary Happymommy). Thanks!

  32. Thank you for sharing this post. That Cuban-inspired pressed cheese sandwich is just amazing. We tried this for yesterday’s snack and it was fabulous! Everyone at home loved it and I am guessing this will be a regular at home. Again, thank you for sharing.
