This Monte Cubano is a clever, high-protein fusion of two iconic sandwiches. Combining the savoury components of a classic Cuban—salty ham, smoked turkey, and tangy pickles—with the golden, egg-dipped finish of a Monte Cristo, it offers a satisfyingly crisp texture and a rich, melted centre. The addition of a quick garlic mayonnaise provides a punchy depth of flavour that cuts through the melted Swiss cheese perfectly.
Ideal for a substantial weekend brunch or a post-workout meal, this protein-packed sandwich is surprisingly simple to prepare in a single frying pan. Serve it warm while the cheese is still gooey, perhaps with a side of crisp green salad to balance the richness. It is a comforting, homemade take on deli-style flavours that feels like a true kitchen indulgence.
