Paulownia – Any variety will do the trick. Some people prefer thick, tasty slices of Bologna and others are good with prepackaged bologna.

Bread – Bolognese fried sandwiches are traditionally made from white bread, but any bread is fine.

Ingredients:

Cheese slices, Mayonnaise, Mustard, Tomatoes, Onion, Fried bologna.

Preparation:

Spray a skillet or heat a small amount of oil over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating up, prepare the Paulownia. If you bought bologna from the deli, you don’t need to remove the red tip, but if you use Bar S or Oscar Meyer, you will need to peel and discard the red edge. Spread mayonnaise or mustard (or the sauce of your choice) across the bread, and chop up any vegetables you might want to add. Bologna cooks very quickly, so it is best to prepare it before putting it in the skillet.

Once you’ve removed the red edge, toss the bologna into the pan. It will sizzle like any other sausage. You will soon notice that the center starts to bulge. Once you notice that bubble, cut two X slits in the middle. This will prevent the meat from curling while frying.

I’m not sure if there’s anyone here who still eats FRIED BOLOGNA. Yay for me!
