Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

  • 4 thick-cut bologna slices
  • 2 slices soft white or wheat sandwich bread
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • Mustard or mayonnaise (to taste)

Optional Toppings

  • 1 slice American or cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Pickles (dill or bread-and-butter, optional)
  • Lettuce leaves (optional)
  • Sliced tomatoes (optional)
  • Sliced jalapeños (optional, for spice)
  • 1 fried egg (optional, for breakfast style)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather thick-cut bologna slices, bread, butter, and any optional toppings or condiments you desire.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and let it warm up to ensure even cooking.
  3. Fry the Bologna: Lay the bologna slices flat in the hot pan without adding oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, until edges become crispy and golden brown.
  4. Toast the Bread: Butter one side of each bread slice. Using the same skillet and leftover bologna fat, toast the bread butter-side down until golden brown to absorb some flavor.
  5. Assemble Your Sandwich: Spread your preferred condiments on the toasted bread slices. Layer the crispy bologna on top, add any optional toppings, then close the sandwich.
  6. Serve Warm: Enjoy your freshly made Fried Bologna Sandwich right away for the perfect combination of textures and flavors.

Notes

  • Choose thick slices of bologna for crispy edges and tender centers.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; fry one or two slices at a time for best results.
  • Use the rendered bologna fat to toast the bread for extra flavor.
  • Experiment with different mustards like Dijon or spicy brown to vary flavor.
  • Double up on bologna slices for an extra indulgent sandwich.
