- 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.

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.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread, such as sourdough or a hearty Italian loaf, will hold up well to the fillings and prevent the sandwich from getting soggy.
- Spread a flavorful base: A thin layer of mayonnaise, mustard, or a combination of both adds a creamy, tangy flavor to the sandwich.
- Layer on the bologna: Use thick slices of bologna for a satisfying bite. Overlapping the slices will help to keep the sandwich together.
- Add your favorite toppings: Cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles are all classic bologna sandwich toppings. Get creative and add other toppings that you enjoy, such as avocado, bacon, or fried egg.
- Season to taste: A sprinkle of salt and pepper will help to enhance the flavors of the sandwich.
- Grill or pan-fry the sandwich: This will give the bread a crispy exterior and help to melt the cheese. If you're grilling the sandwich, be sure to grease the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Conclusion:
The bologna sandwich is a classic for a reason. It's simple to make, delicious, and satisfying. With a few simple tips, you can make a bologna sandwich that's even better than the sum of its parts. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, give the bologna sandwich a try. You won't be disappointed.
