A twist on the classic Italian mortadella sandwich recipe with cheddar, brie, mushrooms, pickles, tomato, and a crispy fried egg
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time5 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 2 large slices of sourdough bread
  • Butter
  • 4-6 slices of Mortadella
  • Sliced Cheddar and French Brie* (See Recipe Notes)
  • 2-4 slices of tomato
  • 2 large chestnut mushrooms
  • 2 large crunchy lettuce leaves
  • Squeeze of lemon juice
  • 1 large pickled cucumber (salty, not sweet)
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 heaped tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 egg
  • 2 green olives stuffed with anchovies

Instructions

  • Mix the mayonnaise and mustard together to make the sauce.
  • Slice the mushrooms thinly. Heat a frying pan with a little butter and sauté the mushrooms with a pinch of salt until cooked through.
  • In the same pan, add a dash of oil and fry the egg until crispy around the edges. Do not flip. Season with salt.
  • Season the tomato slices with salt.
  • Arrange all the sandwich ingredients around you. Toast the sourdough slices until golden brown. Spread one side of each slice with butter.
  • Start building your sandwich: Divide the mayo-mustard between the two slices of bread. Then on the bottom slice, start with the lettuce, squeezing a little lemon juice over the leaves. Then layer the fried egg, sliced mortadella, fried mushrooms, cheddar and brie, pickle slices and finally the tomato slices. Top with the remaining piece of toasted sourdough.
  • Skewer 2 olives. Slice the sandwich in half, stack the slices and pin together with the skewer so that the olives sit nicely on top.

Notes

*Feel free to add as little or as much cheddar and brie as you like. It all depends on your personal taste.
