Fried Bologna Sandwich

Total Time15 minutes
Course: Main Course
Servings: 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons spicy brown mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon dill pickles, plus 2 Tablespoons brine finely chopped
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 7 ounces bologna, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices seeded rye bread
  • 2 iceberg lettuce leaves

Instructions

  • Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds.
  • Mix mustard, mayonnaise, and chopped pickles in a small bowl to combine; season with pepper.
  • Arrange half of bologna slices in a neat stack. Starting near the center and working toward the edges of the stack, cut four 1”-long slits, spacing evenly. Repeat with remaining bologna.
  • Heat a dry large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Working in batches, arrange bologna slices in a single layer in skillet and cook until browned all over and crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate as they are done. Save skillet with any fat.
  • Arrange bread in a single layer in skillet and cook over medium-high until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board.
  • To build sandwiches, spread mustard mixture evenly over each slice of bread. Divide bologna between 2 slices and top with lettuce; drizzle with pickle brine. Close up sandwiches and cut in half.
