Press firmly while it cooks — a Cubano is meant to come out flattened and compact, with a crisp, buttery crust; a light touch won't get you there.
Instructions:
- Spread the Mustard: Split each piece of bread and spread mustard on one side.
- Layer: Layer seitan, vegan ham, pickles, and vegan cheese onto each sandwich.
- Butter the Outside: Close the sandwiches and spread vegan butter on the outside of the bread.
- Press & Cook: Heat a panini press or skillet over medium heat and press each sandwich for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden, crisp, and the cheese is melted.
- Slice & Serve: Slice diagonally and serve hot.
Notes: Read through the full recipe before starting so you have all ingredients prepped and ready to go.
Tips: Taste as you go and adjust seasoning to your preference before serving.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Swaps: Feel free to swap in seasonal vegetables or pantry staples you have on hand, adjusting cook time as needed.
Every ingredient here earns its place, but a few really shape the dish. The seitan adds a chewy, meaty texture and protein. The vegan butter adds richness and helps create a tender, flavorful base.
