For a classic fried bologna sandwich, you’ll need:

  • 2–3 slices bologna
  • 2 slices bread
  • 1–2 slices American or cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil, for frying
  • Optional: sliced onion, pickles, lettuce, or tomato
  • Optional: a fried egg for a heartier version

Tip: Cut a small slit in the edge of each bologna slice so it doesn’t curl up while frying.
