Ingredients

  • 2 slices rustic bread
  • 4 to 6 slices mortadella or bologna, thinly sliced (but not shaved)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons whole grain mustard

Instructions

  • In a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat, or using a toaster, toast the bread, flipping once until it is slightly browned and pale golden, about 5 minutes.
  • When the bread has finished toasting, remove the bread and put the mortadella slices in the skillet, making sure they’re not touching (you may need to do this in two batches). Fry the mortadella, flipping once, until both sides have a golden-brown glow, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Spread as much mustard as you like on one side of one or both slices of toast. Pile the mortadella slices on one slice of toast. Place the other slice of toast on top. Slice, if you like, and serve immediately.
