Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick-sliced bologna
- 4 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Pickled jalapeños
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
Instructions
Start by preheating a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and hot sauce until smooth. Set aside.
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will be the outside of the sandwich that gets grilled.
Spread the mustard-mayo-hot sauce mixture on the unbuttered side of all four slices of bread.
Add a slice of cheddar cheese to two of the bread slices, on the side with the mustard mixture.
Top each slice of cheddar cheese with two slices of thick-cut bologna. If desired, lightly sear the bologna in the hot skillet for extra flavor before adding to the sandwich.
Sprinkle pickled jalapeños evenly over the bologna slices.
Add the remaining slices of cheddar cheese on top of the jalapeños, then place the remaining bread slices on top, butter-side out, to complete the sandwiches.
Place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula to achieve a golden, crispy exterior and perfectly melted cheese.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them sit for 1 minute before slicing in half and serving. Enjoy!
