Ingredients

• 4 slices bologna slices (sugar-free)
• 2 slices low-carb bread
• 2 slices cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 leaves lettuce leaves
• 1 small tomato
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by prepping your vegetables: slice the tomato into thin slices and tear the lettuce leaves into sandwich-sized portions.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together until well combined.

Step 3

Spread one tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of low-carb bread.

Step 4

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the bologna slices in the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until they are slightly crispy and browned. Remove the bologna from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Using the same skillet, carefully lay the buttered sides of the bread slices down in the skillet. Quickly add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each bread slice.

Step 6

Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Assemble the sandwich by spreading the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on the unbuttered sides of the bread slices.

Step 8

Layer the cooked bologna, lettuce, and tomato on top of one slice of bread, seasoning the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Complete the sandwich by placing the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.

Step 10

Press down gently and cook for an additional minute or until the cheese is fully melted and the sandwich is heated through.

Step 11

Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve hot.
