Bologna, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 slices bread (white, whole wheat, or your choice)
• 1-2 slices bologna (depending on how much bologna you like)
• 1 egg
• 1 slice cheese (American cheese, cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite cheese)
• 1 tablespoon butter (or oil for frying)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Optional: Ketchup or mustard (for extra flavor)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the bread: Toast the two slices of bread to your desired level of crispiness, or you can just use them untoasted if you prefer a softer sandwich.
2. Cook the bologna: In a skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of butter or oil. Place the slices of bologna in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until they are nicely browned and slightly crispy around the edges. Set the bologna aside.
3. Fry the egg: In the same skillet, add a little more butter or oil if needed, and crack the egg into the pan. Fry the egg to your liking—sunny-side-up, over-easy, or scrambled. Season with salt and pepper. If you want the egg to be a little more cooked through, you can cover the pan with a lid for a minute or two to help cook the yolk.
4. Assemble the sandwich: On one slice of toast, place the fried bologna. Top with the cooked egg, and then place the slice of cheese on top of the egg so it can melt slightly. Add any condiments like ketchup or mustard if desired.
5. Close and serve: Place the second slice of toasted bread on top of the sandwich, cut in half (if desired), and enjoy!

Optional Variations and Add-ins:

• Avocado: Add a few slices of avocado for a creamy texture and extra flavor.
• Hot Sauce: Spice it up with some hot sauce or a drizzle of sriracha for a bit of heat.
• Veggies: Add lettuce, tomato slices, or even some pickles for extra crunch and freshness.
• Bacon: For a more indulgent sandwich, throw a few crispy bacon strips into the mix.
• Different Cheeses: Switch up the cheese for a stronger flavor, such as pepper jack or cheddar.

Tips:

• If you like your bologna crispy, you can even fry it for a minute or two longer until it’s nice and crispy around the edges.
• If you’re making this as a breakfast sandwich, serve it with a side of fruit or hash browns for a complete meal.
• For a lighter version, use whole grain bread, leaner turkey bologna, and a fried egg white to reduce calories.

This Bologna, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich is simple, satisfying, and full of flavor. It’s perfect for those mornings when you want something filling or a late-night snack. Enjoy it with a hot cup of coffee or your favorite drink!
