🥘 Ingredients
- Bologna - Oscar Meyer, Bar S, Berks, or my favorite Alex's Meat German Bologna.
- Bread - You can use any bread or try it with Texas toast or my kaiser rolls.
- Eggs - Store bought or farm fresh.
- American cheese - Nothing melts better than American cheese!
- Salt & Pepper - To taste.
- Butter - A good quality butter to "toast" the bread.
- Garlic Salt - A sprinkle of garlic salt on the toasted bread, yum!
🔪 Step-By-Step Instructions
- Toast the bread or buns. You can toast bread slices in a toaster, but if using buns I prefer to toast them in a dry pan before cooking the bologna and eggs. To do this in your frying pan or skillet, combine the optional butter and garlic salt and spread on each bun half. Then toast over medium heat until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
- Fry the bologna. In a large skillet or frying pan, heat to medium and add the bologna slices in a single layer (typically 3-4 slices at a time). Cook on the first side until golden and browning slightly, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the reverse side for a minute, until golden as well. Remove and set aside (repeat if necessary).
- Fry the eggs. Crack your eggs into the skillet or frying pan, still over medium heat. Break the yolk if desired, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the white is firm enough to flip or about 3 minutes.
- Flip and add cheese. Flip and cook the reverse side for one minute, add cheese slices and cover. Cook for an additional 30 seconds then remove from heat and assemble your fried egg and bologna sandwiches.
- Assemble the sandwich. Place the fried bologna on the bottom slice of bread or bun, top with the egg and melted cheese, then close with the second slice of bread or bun half. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Been making sandwiches like this for years! Simple and delicious.
The only thing I do different is I usually add some good mayo to the bread before closing up the sandwich.
Debbie says
Yummy with a slice of tomato, and a little stone ground mustard added too!
