Cubano Sandwich

PRESSED CREPE SANDWICHES:
  1. Assemble crepe sandwiches by layering ingredients on one quarter of each crepe (leaving room to fold it into quarters). On each crepe, spread a layer of mustard, ham, pickles, roast pork and cheese. Sprinkle with a bit of salt. Then fold crepe in half, then in half again.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once warmed, melt a bit of butter in it. Carefully place folded crepes sandwich in pan, working in batches if needed.
  3. Press the sandwiches to make them golden brown and melt the cheese. Cook for a few minutes on each side.
Plate and enjoy!!!
