Miami Sandwich or Cuban Sandwich Recipe

Today we are going to see a very complete and tasty sandwich: the Miami Sandwich Recipe, also known as Cuban sandwich. It is a very easy sandwich to make. Perfect for a quick but delicious dinner. And let’s learn about its history. Will you join us?

History of the Miami Sandwich

This sandwich, also called Cuban sandwich, was born in Cuba, in the cafés that served Cuban workers in Tampa and Key West, two of the first communities of Cuban immigrants in Florida dedicated to the tobacco industry.
Later, Cuban exiles and expatriates took it to Miami, where it became very popular, under the name Miami Sandwich.

Let’s see Miami or Cuban sandwich recipe

The real Cuban sandwiches are made on a double griddle or press, which allows to “press” them well, hence in our recipe we tell you to flatten it against the pan with a plate. But if you are lucky enough to have a griddle of this style at home, do not hesitate and prepare your sandwich there.

As a curiosity, from the original Cuban sandwich, also called Miami, comes the very famous mixed sandwich.

I encourage you to try to make this Miami sandwich recipe at home. Of course, one sandwich is enough for two people for dinner. As we told you, it is usually cut in half, diagonally. And since it is so hearty, it is enough for a dinner, although you can also serve it with some delicious french fries!
