OMG, me muero for any sandwich. I love them with a passion that most people reserve for chocolate. What you can create between two slices of bread is amazing! The possibilities are endless. Even though I love variety and I am not a one sandwich kind of girl, if I had to choose I would have to say that my all-time favorite sandwich is a Cubano. I have loved a medianoche for as long as I can remember.
You would think that since I love sandwiches so much and make them often I would have at some point made myself a medianoche, but I haven't. I've been too afraid to mess with the sandwich love of my life until now. I just found the cleverest riff on a Cuban sandwich and I have got to try it. This pressed Cubano with bacon recipe uses Hawaiian rolls! Can you say, SWEET!

Also, part of the reason I've never attempted to make a medianoche is because I don't have a sandwich press, but in the video below, you can see how easy it is to use two cast iron pans in lieu of a panini press. I knew about this technique already, but for some reason I've just never tried it. Time to try it, I say!
