Medianoche

The Medianoche is a delectable sandwich originating from Cuba, which has gained a cherished place within Cuban communities across the United States. Its name, meaning "midnight" in Spanish, reflects its popularity as a late-night snack in Havana's lively nightclubs.

This scrumptious sandwich is filled with layers of roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, mustard, and sweet pickles. What distinguishes it from the Cuban sandwich is the bread—Medianoche is crafted with a soft, sweet egg dough bread instead of the crusty Cuban bread.

Much like its counterpart, the Cuban sandwich, the Medianoche is typically heated in a press, which melts the cheese and seamlessly blends all the flavors together.
