Ingredients (serves 1–2)
-
2–4 slices of bologna
-
2 slices of bread (white, wheat, or your choice)
-
1 tsp butter or oil for frying
-
Optional toppings: cheese (American or cheddar), mustard, mayo, pickles, lettuce, tomato
Instructions
-
Heat the pan: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add butter or a tiny bit of oil.
-
Fry the bologna: Place bologna slices in the skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until edges are slightly crispy and golden. Optional: make shallow cuts around the edges so it doesn’t curl.
-
Toast the bread: While the bologna is frying, toast your bread in a separate pan or toaster.
-
Assemble the sandwich:
-
Place fried bologna on one slice of bread.
-
Add cheese, mustard, mayo, or other toppings if you like.
-
Top with the second slice of bread.
-
-
Serve warm: Enjoy immediately while the bologna is still crispy.
💡 Tips & Upgrades:
-
Cheesy bologna melt: Add cheese on top of the bologna in the pan, cover for 30–60 seconds until melted.
-
Spicy kick: Spread a thin layer of sriracha or Dijon mustard on the bread.
-
Extra crunch: Fry the bread lightly in butter before assembling for a golden grilled sandwich vibe.
This is classic diner-style comfort food—quick, cheap, and ridiculously satisfying.
If you want, I can make a “high-protein, slightly healthier fried bologna sandwich” version that’s still crispy and delicious but better for daily meals.
Do you want me to do that?
