Cuban sandwich (Cubano)

The Cuban sandwich, better known as a Cubano. The sandwich is cemented together with yellow mustard and a garlic butter schmear. Baguette-like, crustier Cuban bread is used for Cubano, not the same bread for medianoche.

The difference between the  Cubano and Medianoche  variations is minimal. It lies in one ingredient: the bread.The chief difference being that a medianoche is made on soft, sweet egg dough bread similar to Jewish challah rather than on crustier Cuban bread, often called pan medianoche or pan sauve, this bread is smaller, richer, eggier, and usually sweeter than the crusty, baguette-like bread used for cubanos. Like the Cuban sandwich, the medianoche is typically warmed in a press before eating. And unlike a Cuban sandwich, there is no mayo on a medianoche.
