For flavor fans, there is nearly no better combo than the complementary tastes in a Cubano sandwich. For an upgrade on the classic sandwich, try creating Sammy’s Cubano Sandwich from Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar, complete with layers of roast pork, ham, soft swiss cheese, mustard and topped with tangy pickles.
For an upgrade on the classic sandwich, try this version from Sammy Hagar, a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, who’s known for his riff on the iconic recipe. He takes his favorite sandwich to the next level by adding a smoky kick.
“The Cubano has everything I love in a sandwich: gooey melted cheese and a crispy, crunchy crust on the bread,” Hagar said. “It's great to be able to get all the flavors in each bite. It has pickles and mustard that cut through the rich cheese and pork. When you splash a little Tabasco on it, you get the last perfect ingredients – flavor and heat.”
Find his signature sandwich at Sammy’s Beach Bar & Grill locations throughout the country, or try creating Sammy’s Cubano Sandwich at home with this recipe.
