pressed sandwich

Grilled, weighted sub

A pressed sandwich is made by compressing the filled bread under weight or in a heated press, flattening it and melding the ingredients together.

The Cuban sandwich and panini are classic examples.

Pressing creates a denser texture and crisper exterior than an ordinary sandwich: I ordered a pressed sandwich with ham and gruyère.
