Chef's note
The Keto Cuban Sandwiches are a fantastic keto spin on a classic Cuban dish. The traditional recipe is made with Cuban bread, but we have a keto alternative to it which is low-carb and won't break your ketogenic diet. By using Keto Dinner Rolls you can easily replace the traditional bread and make these sliders anytime you need a fun sandwich.
If you are busy throughout the week, you can easily make them in big batches and freeze them during weekends. This way, you will readily have tasty grab-and-go options for busy days. And you won't ever have to compromise on taste.

Chef's pro tip
One common challenge when making this low-carb Cuban sandwich is perfecting the sliders. They are prone to burns and becoming too crispy or overly browned. This can affect the texture we want. So to prevent this, we must keep a close eye on and add enough moisture through the butter and mustard.
So, stick to the script, follow the instructions to the letter, and you'll be serving up a meal that's sure to get rave reviews at your table.

These turned out sooo good BUT- the recipe says it makes 20-22 rolls. The recipe also says serves 12. Do I assume one serving is...? If one serving were 2 (of 12) rolls, then the total made should be 24 rolls. I ended up making exactly 20 rolls. I guess for now to play it safe, I’m calculating 1 roll out of 20 rolls = 1 serving. This math isn’t working out right based on the information provided.
Alex Lester says
It all depends on how large or small you roll the buns, so there is a little bit a leeway. If you rolled them out small enough to make 24, then you'd have exactly 24 rolls with 12 servings of 2, but they'd be too small for sliders. If you made 20 rolls you could either adjust the math for 10 servings of 2 rolls, or 12 servings of 1.67 rolls.
If you adjust to 10 servings of 2, the macros for the rolls would equal: 399 Calories / 19% Protein - 18 g / 77% Fat - 33 g / 4% Net Carbs - 4 g
