Ah yes 🥪 — the Bologna Sandwich is a classic, no-fuss deli-style sandwich. Simple, nostalgic, and surprisingly versatile — perfect for a quick lunch or snack.
🥪 Classic Bologna Sandwich
Ingredients (Serves 1)
- 2 slices of bread (white, sandwich, or your choice)
- 2–3 slices of bologna
- 1–2 slices of cheese (American, cheddar, or Swiss)
- 1–2 tsp mayonnaise or mustard (or both)
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, onions, or a dash of hot sauce
Instructions
- Prep the Bread
- Spread mayonnaise, mustard, or both evenly on one or both slices of bread.
- Assemble Sandwich
- Layer bologna slices on one piece of bread.
- Add cheese and any optional toppings like lettuce or tomato.
- Top with the other slice of bread.
- Serve
- Eat as is, or optionally grill in a skillet or sandwich press for a warm, melty version.
🔥 Tips & Variations
- Fried Bologna: Fry bologna slices in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side before assembling for a richer, savory flavor.
- Grilled version: Butter the outside of the bread and grill until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Deluxe: Add pickles, onions, and a drizzle of hot sauce or ketchup for extra flavor.
- Kid-friendly: Keep it simple with just bologna and cheese for a classic childhood favorite.
If you want, I can give a “fancy fried bologna sandwich” version where the bologna is perfectly seared, the cheese is gooey, and the bread is buttery and toasted — basically gourmet comfort food 😏.
Do you want me to do that version?
