If it is not obvious at this point, let me be blatant, I am absolutely obsessed with sandwiches. Like, big time obsessed! I always have been.
I’m not talking about PB&J. I ate enough of those for a lifetime during my childhood. I like layered flavors, textures and if I’m being honest I prefer my sandwiches a little bougie.
This Mortadella Sandwich is so simple. Pan fried mortadella topped with melty cheese then layered into a soft bun spread with mayo and mustard. Simple yet perfect.
Recipe Tips:
- Cheese Melt Trick: Cover the skillet briefly with lid or tin foil to ensure the cheese melts evenly.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy the Mortadella Sandwich while it’s warm for the ultimate taste experience.
- Toast the Bun: For added texture, lightly toast the buns before assembling the sandwich. This will create a delightful contrast to the creamy melted cheese and mortadella.
- Storing Leftovers: If you somehow have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain the sandwich’s integrity.
