A Better Bologna Sandwich Recipes

BBQ BOLOGNA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Prepare a smoker.
• Using a large, 2-pronged fork, poke several holes into bologna. Place bologna in the smoker and smoke for 3 hours over indirect heat, or until ends of bologna start to swell.
• Pour oil into a heavy bottomed medium-size frying pan. Heat oil to 350 degrees F.
• Cut bologna into 1/2-inch to 1-inch thick slices. When oil is hot, fry bologna slices, 1 at a time, for 1 minute each. Remove each slice to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Place each slice of bologna between 2 pieces of Texas toast, first topping with a small scoop of cole slaw and then drizzling with BBQ sauce.

A BETTER BOLOGNA SANDWICH

FRIED BOLOGNA AND EGG SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat broiler on high.
• Cut a rectangle out of the middle of the bread, approximately 1 inch by 2 inches.
• In a large skillet, melt 1/2 tbsp. butter on medium heat, swirling the butter around to cover the surface of the pan.
• Once butter is sizzling, add the bread to the pan. Crack the egg into the hole in the bread.
• Cook for approximately 2 minutes. If you prefer your egg less runny, add 1 - 2 additional minutes to the cooking time, but be sure to peek under the bread during cooking and if it's getting too brown, turn heat down.
• Using a spatula, flip the bread over, making sure the bread lands on the side of the pan rather than the middle.
• Add the remaining 1/2 tbsp. butter to the empty space in the pan. Add bologna and tomato slices to the pan. Cook bread, bologna and tomato for 2 minutes. Flip bologna and tomato during cooking time to ensure even browning. Turn down heat if they are browning too fast.
• Remove bread to an oven-safe tray. Add tomato slices on top of the bread, then pile on the bologna. Top with cheese slice(s). Broil for 2 - 3 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and slightly brown. Watch carefully during broiling to avoid burning.
• Remove from tray onto a serving plate. Top with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
