Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices bologna slices
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 slices American cheese slices
- 2 slices white bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 2 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 medium, sliced tomato
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by making a simple sauce by mixing mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl. Set it aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
Once the butter is melted and starting to foam, add the bologna slices to the skillet. Cook them for about 2 minutes on each side until the edges are crispy and they have a nice golden brown color.
As the bologna cooks, you can lightly score the center to prevent curling.
Remove the bologna from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and place the slices of bread in the pan. Toast the bread on one side until it is golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Flip the bread slices over, and place an American cheese slice on top of each while they toast on the other side.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading the mayonnaise-mustard sauce on the untoasted side of each bread slice.
Layer the fried bologna slices on top of the cheese on one slice of bread.
Add lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Top with the other slice of bread, cheese side down, to complete the sandwich.
Optional: Press the sandwich lightly with a spatula and let it warm in the skillet for an additional minute to melt the cheese more thoroughly.
Remove from the skillet, cut the sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately.
