GRILLED FRIED EGG, BOLOGNA AND CHEESE SANDWICH



Grilled Fried Egg, Bologna and Cheese Sandwich image

I was craving fried bologna. Came across an Egg, Cheese Bologna recipe and tweaked it a little bit to make it like a grilled cheese sandwich! Delicious!!

Provided by suzymazz

Categories     Cheese

Time 10m

Yield 1 sandwich, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 slices bologna, any brand will do. slit the sides in 4 places to fry without curling (or 2 or 4 up to you)
1 egg
1 slice American cheese
2 slices white bread (I used Italian style regular bread)
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon butter

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!

4 (2-ounce) slices whole-wheat country bread
Cooking spray
2 cups arugula - or other greens you have on hand
