Open Face Fried Bologna Breakfast Sandwich

So, it has been a while since I have posted a blog entry - simply because the 'Blogger' app was a little buggy.... But I am back in action, for better or for worse.

This simple breakfast takes a Western New York staple and turns it into a yummy morning taste of heaven!

Fried bologna sandwiches are everywhere - from diners, to ball parks, to mom's kitchen. Typically served up on a hard roll and smothered with Weber's mustard, this simple lunch meat turns into a tasty treat to die for!

What you need:

Note - this is a per sandwich recipe

Olive oil - approximately 1-2 tspn

3 slices of bologna

Diced onion - approximately 1/8 to 1/4 cup

Slice of rye bread (any bread may substitute)

Weber's Horseradish Mustard (if you are in a region that does not have Webers, any yellow mustard will do).

One egg

In a small pan, warm half of the olive oil. When oil is hot, add the bologna (i like to cut mine into small squares) and onion. Fry to desired texture - I like my onions well caramelized and my bologna crispy. Meanwhile, toast bread.

In a separate pan, heat remaining olive oil. Crack open egg and fry. You can prepare the egg any way you like.

Plate the bread, butter if you desire. Top with bologna mixture. Spread desired amount of mustard. Top with the egg.

Enjoy eating this breakfasty twist on a WNY classic!
