Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Allow it to melt completely, coating the pan evenly.
Once the butter is melted, add 2 slices of low-sodium bologna in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges. Remove and set aside on a plate.
Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet and repeat the frying process with the remaining bologna slices. Set aside once cooked.
While the bologna is frying, lightly toast the whole wheat bread slices in a toaster until they are golden brown.
Spread 1 tablespoon of low-sodium mayonnaise on each of two toasted bread slices. Spread 0.5 teaspoon of low-sodium mustard on the other two slices.
Layer one slice of bologna on each of the mayonnaise-coated bread slices.
Add a lettuce leaf, a couple of tomato slices, and a few onion slices on top of the bologna. Sprinkle with a pinch of black pepper.
Top each sandwich with another slice of bologna and press together with a mustard-coated bread slice.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy for the best flavor.
