- In a small, nonstick skillet, melt the butter. Add the egg and fry over moderate heat, turning once, until crisp around the edge, about 4 minutes; the yolk should still be runny. Slide the egg onto the lettuce; close the sandwich and eat right away.

Steps:
- Prep:.
- Slit the bologna in 4 places alond the side to 1/2 to middle (like a pinwheel) to prevent it from curling when fried.
- Mayo one side of 2 slices of bread (I prefer to grill with mayo -- browns better than butter -- a trick I learned from a diner).
- Add small pat of butter to grease a non-stick frying pan on medium. Add the bologna. Fry to your liking turning frequently as not to burn. Transfer to one piece of your bread on the un-mayo side.
- Fry an egg. You will have plenty of grease to fry it inches Poke yolk. Flip. Add a slice of cheese to cooked side. Fry it through. Transfer to on top of bologna.
- Put other slice of bread over. Mayo side out. Transfer to fry pan. Grill it like you would a grilled cheese sandwich. I put Frank's Red Hot cayanne pepper sauce as a condiment. (milder than Tabasco) -- use whatever condiment you want or leave it plain! Super YUMMY!
OPEN FACE SANDWICH W ARUGULA, CHEESE AND FRIED EGG
Steps:
- 1. Preheat broiler. 2. Coat both sides of bread with cooking spray. Broil 2 minutes on each side or until lightly toasted. 3. Combine arugula, 2 teaspoons oil, juice, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss gently. 4. Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into pan; cook 2 minutes. Cover and cook an additional 2 minutes or until whites are set. Remove from heat. 5. Combine 1/4 teaspoon salt, ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and thyme; spread over bread slices. Divide salad and eggs evenly over bread. Sprinkle with remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your sandwich will taste. Look for eggs that are bright orange and free of cracks, and use cheese that is firm and not too crumbly.
- Cook your eggs over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without overcooking them.
- Season your eggs with salt and pepper: This will help them taste more flavorful.
- Use a good quality bread: A thick, sturdy bread will help hold up the sandwich and prevent it from getting soggy.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses: There are many different types of cheeses that can be used in a fried egg sandwich, so feel free to experiment until you find one that you like.
- Add your favorite toppings: Once you have your basic sandwich, you can add your favorite toppings to make it even more delicious. Some popular toppings include bacon, avocado, tomato, and hot sauce.
Conclusion:
A fried egg cheese sandwich is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a sandwich that is sure to satisfy your hunger and taste buds.
