Ingredients
- 8 slices bologna slices
- 4 slices white bread
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
Instructions
- 1
Place a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter, tilting the pan so it coats the bottom evenly, about 30 seconds.
- 2
Once the butter is foaming and the pan feels very hot, lay all 8 bologna slices flat in the skillet in a single layer without overlapping.
- 3
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes without moving them until the bottoms are deep golden brown with crispy, slightly curled edges.
- 4
Flip each bologna slice over one at a time using tongs and cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes until equally golden and crispy.
- 5
Slide all the cooked bologna onto a clean plate and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
- 6
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of mustard on one side of each bread slice, using the back of a spoon to distribute it in a thin, even layer.
- 7
Arrange 4 warm bologna slices on the mustard side of the first slice of bread, stacking them in a single layer to cover the surface.
- 8
Top with the second slice of bread, mustard-side down, pressing gently so the sandwich holds together.
- 9
Repeat with the remaining 4 bologna slices and 2 bread slices to make the second sandwich.
- 10
Cut each sandwich diagonally from corner to corner using a sharp knife, creating two triangles per sandwich, and serve immediately.
