Medianoche, meaning “midnight” in Spanish, is a Cuban sandwich made with sweet, soft egg bread, layered with roast pork, ham, Swiss cheese, yellow mustard, and pickles, then pressed and toasted until warm and melty. Originally served in Havana nightclubs as a late-night snack, it’s a sweeter, softer cousin to the Cuban sandwich (Pan Cubano). The combination of salty meats and tangy pickles on a slightly sweet bun gives Medianoche its unique character.

Common variations include substitutions like turkey or the addition of salami in some diaspora versions.
