Time 17h10m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
12 large eggs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
3/4 cup Homemade Hot Giardiniera, drained and chopped, recipe follows (or your favorite store brand)
Four 1/2-inch thick slices bologna (about 1 pound), such as Boar's Head brand
4 to 8 slices pepper jack cheese
4 soft kaiser buns, buttered and lightly grilled
Dusseldorf mustard
1/4 cup table salt
1 cup small-diced carrots
1 cup tiny cauliflower florets
4 to 8 serrano peppers,sliced (depending on heat level desired)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 stalk celery, diced small
1 red bell pepper, dicedsmall
2 cups canola oil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the onions: Heat a large oven proof 10-inch nonstick pan, with oil in it, to medium heat. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the onions are soft and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Once they are caramelized, pour them into a bowl and set aside.
  • For the giardiniera frittata: Set the oven to broil. Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Wipe the skillet you cooked the onions in and place back over medium-low heat, then add the butter and olive oil. Add the eggs and slowly cook until the bottom is set but the top is still wet, 4 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle the Hot Giardiniera evenly over the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the skillet in the broiler on the middle rack and broil until the top is spotty brown and puffy, about 5 minutes. Let the frittata cool slightly and, using a 3- to 4-inch ring mold, cut out circles that will match the size of your bread.
  • For the burger: Heat a grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill each side of bologna until grill marks form, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Once you flip to the second side, top each slice with a piece of cheese and cover with a metal bowl until melted.
  • For the sandwich build: Layer the bottom bun with a dollop of the Dusseldorf mustard, bologna with cheese, onions and the frittata. Schmear the top bun with another dollop of Dusseldorf mustard. Close the sandwich, recite the Pledge of Allegiance and eat whole.
  • Combine 2 cups water and the salt in a glass or non-reactive bowl. Mix until the salt is dissolved. Add the carrots, cauliflower, serranos, garlic, celery and bell pepper to the salt water and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Day 2, drain and rinse the vegetables. In a clean bowl, mix together the oil with the oregano and pepper. Add the vegetables and mix to combine. Allow to marinate overnight. Giardiniera will only get better with time. After 2 days at the most in the bowl, you can place in air-tight mason jars and keep in the fridge for at least 2 to 3 weeks.

I've made this grilled bologna burger several times and it's always a hit! The bologna is cooked perfectly and the cheese is melted and gooey. I love adding some extra pickles and onions to mine.

This grilled bologna burger was just okay. The bologna was a little bland, and the cheese wasn't very flavorful. I probably won't be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my grilled bologna burger didn't turn out well. The bologna was tough and the cheese didn't melt. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This grilled bologna burger was a disappointment. The bologna was dry and overcooked, and the cheese wasn't melted. I won't be making this again.

I'm not usually a fan of bologna, but this grilled bologna burger was surprisingly good. The bologna was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the cheese and pickles added a nice touch. I'll definitely be making this again.

This grilled bologna burger was a hit at my last cookout! The combination of the smoky bologna, melted cheese, and tangy pickles was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again.
