Fried Bologna Sandwiches

Here’s a simple and tasty recipe for Fried Bologna Sandwiches:

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of bologna (thick cut, if possible)
• 4 slices of white or brioche bread
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 slices of American or cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tsp mustard (optional)
• 2 pickle slices (optional)
• 1/4 cup shredded lettuce (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
2. Fry the Bologna: Score the edges of the bologna slices (small slits to prevent curling). Place the bologna in the skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned and slightly crispy around the edges. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Toast the Bread: Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet. Add the bread slices and toast them on one side until golden brown.
4. Assemble the Sandwich:
   • Spread mayonnaise on the toasted sides of the bread.
   • Place a slice of cheese on one piece of bread (you can also melt the cheese on the bologna in the skillet if preferred).
   • Add two slices of fried bologna on top of the cheese.
   • If desired, add mustard, pickles, and shredded lettuce for extra flavor.
5. Finish the Sandwich: Top with the second piece of toasted bread, slice the sandwich in half, and serve warm.

Enjoy your Fried Bologna Sandwich, a classic comfort food that’s crispy, savory, and satisfying!
