Fried bologna sandwiches are a timeless American comfort food loved for their crispy, savory bologna and toasted bread. This dish offers nostalgia and satisfying flavors, perfect for any time of day.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 sandwiches 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 thick slices of bologna (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil
  • 4 slices of bread (white, rye, or artisanal)
  • 2 slices of cheese (American, cheddar, or preferred variety)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise or mustard (or preferred condiment)
  • Optional toppings: sliced tomatoes, pickles, lettuce, or caramelized onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bologna: Trim the edges of each bologna slice to prevent curling. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
  2. Heat the skillet: Place a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add butter or oil.
  3. Fry the bologna: Cook each slice of bologna for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy and golden.
  4. Toast the bread: While the bologna cooks, lightly toast the bread slices.
  5. Assemble the sandwich:
    • Spread mayonnaise or mustard on one side of the toasted bread.
    • Place a slice of fried bologna on the bread.
    • Add cheese, pickles, or additional toppings as desired.
    • Top with the second slice of bread.
  6. Serve: Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use artisanal bread like brioche or ciabatta for an elevated touch.
  • For extra crunch, try adding crispy onion strings or arugula.
  • Ensure your skillet is hot to achieve a perfect crispy texture on the bologna.
