Servings: 2

Ingredients

3 bundles mortadella
2 slices provolone cheese
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2 pieces bun
2 tbsp spicy Dijon mustard
0 black pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat a medium-hot pan over medium heat. Add three bundles of mortadella and cook until the edges are crisp but not overdone, about 3-5 minutes per side.
Layer the crispy mortadella with provolone cheese immediately on the bottom half of the bun to start melting the cheese.
Spread mayonnaise on the inner sides of the buns and toast them in the same pan until deep golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Assemble the sandwich by placing the toasted buns over the mortadella and provolone. Spread a layer of spicy Dijon mustard and add two cranks of black pepper.
