Chef Matt Jennings’ “Bologna Pony” is one of the most insane/incredible brunch sandwiches out there.

Case in point: Before he made his name as a chef, Jennings ran a cheese shop in Providence, RI. He later opened a restaurant in Providence, but has since relocated to Boston to focus on his new restaurant, Townsman. At Townsman, the food is seasonal, sustainable, and true to its New England roots, without being pretentious or stuffy.
The "Bologna Pony" is the perfect example of Jennings' fun-but-serious style of cooking: sliced mortadella, taleggio cheese, lightly pickled seasonal vegetables, a poached egg, and homemade aioli, all sandwiched between two fluffy buttermilk pancakes. It's definitely a sandwich you have to eat with a knife and fork, but trust us, that's a good thing.
Jennings came to the BuzzFeed test kitchen to show us how to make the sandwich, and we got the whole thing on video! See how it's done, then get the recipe at the bottom of this post and try it yourself.
