Fried Bologna Sandwich

Thick-sliced bologna fried until the edges curl and crisp, stacked on white bread with mustard.

The curling-egg classic

Thick-cut bologna, scored and fried until the edges curl into a crispy cup — on soft white bread with mustard. That’s it. That’s the magic.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Score the bologna slices around the edges to prevent curling into cups (or embrace the cup!).
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high and fry the bologna 2-3 minutes per side until browned and crisp-edged.
  3. Spread mustard on the bread.
  4. Stack the fried bologna on the bread, add pickles or onion if desired, and top with the remaining bread.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Thick-cut bologna is non-negotiable. Frying it hot and fast gives the best crispy edges.
