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

Bread – Fried bologna sandwiches are traditionally made from white bread, but any bread is fine.

Ingredients:

Cheese SlicesMayonnaiseMustardTomatoesOnionFried Bologna

Preparation:

Spray a skillet or heat a small amount of oil over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating up, prepare the bologna. If you bought bologna from a deli, you don’t need to remove the red tip, but if you use brands like Bar-S or Oscar Meyer, you will need to remove and discard the red edge.

Spread mayonnaise or mustard (or the sauce of your choice) across the bread slices, and chop up any vegetables you might want to add. Bologna cooks very quickly, so it is best to prepare these ingredients before putting the bologna in the skillet.

Once you’ve removed the red edge, toss the bologna into the pan. Listen for it to start sizzling, just like any other sausage. You will soon notice that the center is beginning to bubble. Once you see this, cut two X-shaped slits in the middle. This will prevent the meat from curling up while frying.

Once the bologna is cooked to your liking, assemble your sandwich! Place the fried bologna onto the bread, add your cheese slices, tomatoes, and onions, then enjoy one of the most nostalgic and delicious sandwiches around!
