Ingredients

  • 4 sub rolls ciabatta, or French baguette cut lengthwise
  • 4 Portobello mushrooms
  • 4-6 Swiss cheese slices
  • 1 red onion sliced thin
  • 1 red pepper roasted, skins removed and julienned
  • 1/2 cup or so yellow mustard
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 8 dill pickle slices
  • 1 stick of unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Over medium heat melt 2 tablespoons butter in a sauté pan. Place garlic and mushrooms in the pan and sauté for 7-10 minutes until lightly browned. Set aside and wipe pan out with a paper towel.
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter to the pan and add the onions. Cook the onions until they begin to brown and caramelize.
  • Spread one inside of each roll with a teaspoon or so of butter and the other side with yellow mustard.
  • Layer the Swiss cheese, mushroom slices, onions, peppers and pickles on the bottom half of each roll and then cover with the top half.
  • Place the veggie Cubans on a hot and heavily buttered griddle, grill, panini pan or pan. Press the tops of the sandwiches down firmly and hold for a minute or so and then do the same to the others. When the bottoms begin to brown in a couple of minutes, carefully flip them and press them again. The pressing will give them a nice crispy crust while keeping the inside soft.
  • Remove from heat, cut in half and serve.
