fried bologna
Pan-seared deli meat
Fried bologna is a simple preparation where slices of bologna are pan-fried until the edges curl and crisp.
A staple of American working-class cooking, it's typically served on white bread with mustard or mayonnaise: We had fried bologna sandwiches for lunch.
The frying transforms the bland lunchmeat into something with caramelized edges and more pronounced flavor.
