This is one of the great lunch foods we have at a Cuban restaurant in town. Judy and Mike share the sandwich with their own café con leche* with two sugars!
*Use French bread: Heat a panini press or preheated oven to 350F (175C).
1. Trim the ends of the loaf, cut into sections, and slice in half lengthwise.
2. Spread the mustard and some mayonnaise on both sides.
3. Layer the pickle and cheese.
4. Brush the tops with butter.
5. Bake until crisp and golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
6. Cut the sandwich in half and serve.
