Can someone ping me with a way to kick up a Cuban Sandwich with some good cheese selections? Other than the original, we have added, at times, bacon, spicy mustard, Southwest mustard and used different breads. Still looking for a better cheese or ?? Thanks

FWIW, I'm very fond of asagio cheese in a Cuban sandwich. And, I prefer braised pork (say, from leftover pork loin) to ham. Haven't tried it, but regular old Swiss cheese might be very good in un emparadido Cubano, too.

Comiendo bueno, m'FRiend!

This is also great with the use of raisins. I have always used a mango mustard.

I don’t know about Cuban Sandwich, but I just recently discovered Gouda, and especially smoked Gouda, and it’s very Good.

Our modern diets are practically devoid of Vitamin k2. An oz of Gouda has about half of the amount you need. Real butter from grass fed cows also has a good amount, but grain-fed cows not so much.

Same thing for Eggs, free range eggs pretty good source, but I digress. I love the smoked Gouda-might be worth a try.
