This is a Bobby Flay recipe that I found online. There is a place near my office that makes wonderful Cuban pork sandwiches. I love the flavors of the pickle and the cheese and the garlic mayo. This recipe isn't too hard but it's a lot of stuff going on at once. It makes 4 burgers.
1lb. ground chuck
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 C. best quality mayonnaise (I use Miracle Whip, mayo is not a fan fave at my house)
3 cloves roasted garlic, pureed
1/4 C. Dijon mustard
4 hamburger buns
4 slices thinly sliced smoked ham
8 slices thinly sliced Swiss cheese
2 dill pickles, sliced into 1/2 inch thick slices
Form the meat into 4 (1/4 inch thick) burgers. Season the meat with sal and pepper on both sides and cook in a saute pan or on a grill over high heat to medium doneness, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Combine the mayo and roasted garlic in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Spread both sides of each bun with mayo and mustard.
Place a slice of cheese on the bottom portion of each bun, place the burger on top of the cheese, then top the burger with a slice of ham, then another slice of cheese, then the pickle slices. Place the tops of the bun over the pickles and cook on a sandwich press or wrap the burgers in aluminum foil and cook in a hot skillet over high heat with a heavy skillet placed on top of the burger to press the sandwich. Cook until golden brown and cheese has melted.
