CookBook Recepie image



Ingredients

  • 1(8 ounce) cancrescent dough sheet (such as Pillsbury®)
  • 2tablespoonsyellow mustard
  • ¼poundsliced ham
  • ¼poundsliced cooked pork loin
  • ¼poundsliced Genoa salami
  • 4slicesSwiss cheese, cut to fit
  • 8dill pickle chips, dried with a paper towel
  • 1egg
  • 1tablespoonmilk

  • Directions

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Remove dough from the can and roll out into a 9×16-inch rectangle. Cut into 4 equal rectangles.

    Place 1 rectangle horizontally on a work surface. Brush mustard over the surface, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Arrange ham, pork, salami, Swiss cheese, and 2 pickle chips, in that order, on the left side of the rectangle. Leave the border and right side of the dough exposed.

    Whisk egg and milk together to make an egg wash. Brush around the border. Fold the right side over the filling and press to seal; crimp the edges with a fork. Cut a few small slits in the top of the hand pie to vent. Brush some egg wash over the top.

    Repeat with remaining dough, mustard, filling, and egg wash. Arrange hand pies on the prepared baking sheet.

    Bake in the preheated oven until crisp and golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes. Cover with foil if starting to brown too quickly. Remove pies to a rack to cool for 5 minutes.



    Cook's Notes:

    Use mojo-marinated pork if possible, but it's not necessary.

    Tampa at one time was renown for its high-quality cigars, its warm, humid climate perfect for cigar-making. The Cuban sandwich originated in the mid 1800s as a lunch filling enough for the cigar factory workers, but not so heavy that they'd fall asleep in the afternoon. The cigar factories are mostly gone, but the sandwich lives on. Miami tries to claim this sandwich as its own, but Tampa had it long before Miami!
