Cuban Grilled Cheese On A Steamed Bun (cubaono)

(6)
"Naming this one the CuBAOno™: Yucatán-style roasted pork (cochinita pibil), honey ham, Swiss and Oaxacan cheeses, pickles and jalapeno mustard on a steamed BBQ pork bun (char siu bao) that was cut in half, stuffed and then pressed on the cast iron like a grilled cheese. It's that Cuban-Mexican-Chinese fusion-y sandwich that you never knew you needed (or existed) until now."

Recipe Intro From dad_beets

I can't resist a pun...especially a cheesy one (!) and the fusion of a classic Cuban sandwich, a Chinese BBQ pork bun, and jalapeños and Oaxacan cheese to bring a Mexican flavor to it all sounds too good to be true.

Ingredients

roasted pork

honey ham, sliced

swiss cheese

Oaxacan cheese

sliced pickles

jalapeno mustard

steamed bun (char siu bao), sliced in half

 

Method

Heat a cast iron over medium heat. Top the sliced bun with the roasted pork, ham, cheese, pickles, and jalapeño mustard. Top with the other slice of bread, and press on the cast iron until the cheese is melted, flipping once.
