This Grilled Cuban Sandwich covers all the bases. Even the mustard bites back. Mixed with mayo and smeared all over fresh ciabatta bread, it made for the perfect addition to this on the go nibbler.
There was a calling, a great void to be filled, a dark void that needed to be filled. And that hole was the endless pit of the stomachs that belonged to the guys at the football game. That’s right, this story is really just about food. Tailgating food. First, it has to be good. Then it has to be portable, easy to prepare, eaten with two possibly mitten covered hands, and stacked high with all the right flavor. This Grilled Cuban Sandwich covers all those bases, and is spiked with a little extra zing from El Diablo’s Mango Mustard. It’s the mustard that bites back. Mixed with mayo and smeared all over fresh ciabatta bread, filling in those air pockets with ease, it made for the perfect addition to this on the go nibbler. Forget slices of pizza that leave you craving more.
Get ready to warm up with a Cuban that bites back.
