Here’s a classic fried bologna and cheese sandwich—crispy edges, melty cheese, and pure comfort 🥪🔥
Fried Bologna & Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients
-
2 slices bologna
-
1–2 slices cheese (American is classic; cheddar works too)
-
2 slices bread (white bread is traditional)
-
Butter or mayonnaise (for grilling)
Instructions
-
Prep the bologna
Cut 3–4 small slits around the edge of each bologna slice.
(Prevents it from curling.) -
Fry the bologna
Heat a skillet over medium heat.
Fry bologna until browned and slightly crispy on both sides. -
Assemble the sandwich
Butter (or mayo) the outside of the bread.
Place cheese on one slice, add hot bologna, top with remaining cheese if using. -
Grill
Cook in the skillet until bread is golden and cheese is melted, flipping once. -
Serve hot
Slice and enjoy immediately.
Optional add-ons (Southern favorites)
-
Mustard or mayo inside
-
Fried onions
-
Tomato slices
-
Pickles
-
A fried egg (breakfast-style)
Tips
-
Medium heat = crispy bologna, melty cheese
-
American cheese melts best
-
Mayo on the outside gives extra golden crust
