- Level Easy
Ingredients
- 16 slice Bologna
- 1 oz Brown prepared mustard
- 1 Kaiser bun, sliced in half
Method
- On one slice of the bun, pile the bologna slices in the shape of a Venn diagram, alternating between those on the left and those on the right, so that your Venn diagram is made of bologna that hangs off the edges of the bottom of the Kaiser bun.
- Smear brown mustard on the soft part of the other half of the bun. Top sandwich with the bun.
Tips for the best Baloney Sandwich
- Read the whole method before you start and measure out the 3 ingredients first — it keeps the pace relaxed once the heat is on.
- Taste as you go. Seasoning at the end is fine, but adjusting halfway through gives a more balanced result.
- Rest the finished dish for a few minutes before serving — it lets the flavours settle and the texture firm up.
Variations
- Spicier version: add a pinch of chilli flakes or a sliced fresh chilli with the aromatics.
- Vegetable boost: stir in a handful of spinach, peas or diced peppers in the last few minutes of cooking.
Serving ideas
Pairs well with a simple salad and a glass of something cold.
Storage
Cool completely, then refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave until piping hot. Freezes well for up to 3 months.
