Hot Sausage Po'boy

Hot sausage links does the heavy lifting here, with french bread rounding it out. A Cajun lunch that takes 20 minutes, start to finish. At 680 calories and 30g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 4 Hot sausage links
• 1 loaf French bread
• 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Creole mustard
• 2 cups Shredded lettuce
• 1 Tomato
• 8 slices Pickles
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil

Steps

1. Split the sausage links lengthwise but not all the way through, and press them flat. This gives maximum crust in the pan.
2. Sear in hot oil 4 minutes per side until deeply browned and cooked through.
3. Toast the bread, then spread both sides with the mayonnaise-Creole mustard blend.
4. Layer lettuce, tomato, and pickles on the bottom half — cold crunch against hot sausage is the whole architecture.
5. Lay the sausages on top, close, and press. Wrap 2 minutes so the bread softens slightly around the filling.
