Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Line cookie sheet with foil.
  2. For each bowl, spread 1/4 teaspoon mustard evenly inside bowl. Layer pork, ham, 3 pickles chips and 1 tablespoon cheese in each bowl; fold layers to fit inside bowls, if necessary. Press bowls to flatten in half firmly with palm of hand; secure with toothpick. Place flattened bowls on cookie sheet. Generously brush melted butter on top and bottom of each bowl.
  3. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, brushing with additional butter halfway through, until light brown and cheese is melted inside. Remove toothpicks, and serve immediately.

Expert Tips

  • Roast pork can be found in the deli section and is often called “Cuban-style.”
  • Mustard and dill pickles are traditional in Cuban pork sandwiches--substitute mayonnaise, and skip the pickles if that’s more to your liking.
