How to make Fried bologna sandwich

1. Mix the mustard, mayonnaise, and chopped pickles in a small bowl until well combined; season with pepper.

2. Arrange half of the bologna slices in a neat stack. Starting from the centre and working towards the edges, cut four 2.5 cm slits evenly spaced through the stack. Repeat with the remaining bologna slices.

3. Heat a dry large frying pan, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat.

4. Working in batches, arrange the bologna slices in a single layer in the frying pan and cook for about 2 minutes per side, until browned and crisp all over. Transfer the cooked slices to a plate and keep warm, reserving the frying pan with any fat.

5. Arrange the bread in a single layer in the reserved frying pan and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board.

6. To assemble the sandwiches, spread the mustard mixture evenly over each slice of bread. Divide the bologna between two slices, top with lettuce, and drizzle with pickle brine.

7. Close the sandwiches and cut them in half to serve.
