Toasted to perfection in ghee for added richness, this hearty sandwich is quick to prepare—ready in just 20 minutes—and makes a satisfying meal for one. Whether you’re craving comfort or convenience, this simple yet scrumptious recipe hits all the marks.
Start by preparing your ingredients: slice the tomato and avocado, and set aside.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee over medium heat.
Add the paleo-friendly bologna slices to the skillet and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of ghee and let it melt.
Place the paleo sandwich bread slices in the skillet to toast them on one side, pressing down slightly for an even toast. This should take about 1-2 minutes per side.
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the skillet.
Spread the Dijon mustard on one side of each slice of the toasted paleo bread.
Lay down the fried bologna slices, followed by avocado slices, tomato slices, and arugula on top of the mustard-spread slice.
Season the layers with a sprinkle of salt and black pepper to taste.
Top with the second slice of bread, mustard side down.
Serve the sandwich warm and enjoy!
