Seared Bologna, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit Sandwiches with Sweet Mustard
Bologna makes an excellent breakfast sandwich swap for sausage or country ham, particularly when it’s purchased from a good butcher, browned in a pan, and layered on warm, split biscuits. Runny fried eggs, melted American cheese, and sweet, sharp mustard make a good thing even better.

For the sweet mustard & sandwiches:

- 1⁄2 cup mustard powder, such as Colman’s brand
- 1 1⁄2 tsp. kosher salt

- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
- Twelve ¼-inch-thick slices bologna
- 12 large eggs

Instructions
- Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 375°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add the butter, and mix with your hands, pinching the pieces until the mixture is the consistency of a coarse meal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and use your hands to mix just enough to incorporate (do not overmix).
- Lightly flour a work surface, and turn the biscuit dough out onto it. Let rest 10 minutes. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to an even 1½-inch-thick rectangle. Fold the dough in half and roll it down again, this time to a 2-inch-thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out 2½-inch circles. Reroll the scraps once, and continue cutting more circles; you should have 12 biscuits.
- Transfer to a platter and freeze for at least 1 hour. (If freezing for longer, cover tightly with plastic wrap.) 6 Meanwhile, make the sweet mustard: In a blender, combine the vinegar, sugar, mustard powder, and salt; blend until incorporated. Transfer to a heat-resistant bowl or the top of a double boiler, and set over a pot of simmering water. Cook, stirring often, until thickened but still runny, about 4 minutes. Remove, transfer to a jar, and refrigerate until chilled.
- When you are ready to bake the biscuits, transfer them from the freezer to the prepared, room- temperature baking sheets, at least 2 inches apart. Bake, rotating the sheets halfway through, until the biscuits are lightly golden and cooked through, 30–35 minutes.
- While the biscuits are still warm, line a large plate with paper towels, and set it by the stove. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 teaspoon oil. Once hot, add 3–4 slices of bologna, and cook until well-seared in places, 2–4 minutes per side. Transfer to the plate. Working quickly, crack 3 or 4 eggs into the skillet as can fit. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are warm but runny, 4–5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, split the biscuits in half. Spread a bit of the mustard on the inside of each bottom half, and place a slice of American cheese on the inside of each top half. Place a slice of the seared bologna over the mustard, then add an egg. Top with the cheesy half of the biscuit. Repeat until all of the sandwiches are assembled. Serve hot.
