FRIED EGG & CHEESE SANDWICH
I don't care for runny eggs (except eggs benedict) so this hits the spot when I'm in the mood for something more rich and substantial than scrambled eggs, but not gooey (except the cheese). If I have it on hand, I replace one egg with a slice of ham that I fry first.

Steps:
- Heat the butter in a medium-sized non-stick frying pan over medium high heat.
- When it's very hot, crack one egg on one side of the pan and one egg on the other side of the pan.
- Try to keep them from running into each other so that they can be flipped individually.
- CRUCIAL: Poke the yolks with the eggshell (or a fork) so that they run into the whites.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on the eggs.
- When eggs have set (edges seem firm), flip carefully.
- I usually end up flipping them a few times to make sure the yolk is thoroughly cooked (it's okay if it's a little soft inside but not runny).
- When almost done, top each egg with a piece of cheese and cover with a lid until melty--watch closely.
- Spread mayo on each slice of toast, top with eggs, and put together.

Steps:
- Prep:.
- Slit the bologna in 4 places alond the side to 1/2 to middle (like a pinwheel) to prevent it from curling when fried.
- Mayo one side of 2 slices of bread (I prefer to grill with mayo -- browns better than butter -- a trick I learned from a diner).
- Add small pat of butter to grease a non-stick frying pan on medium. Add the bologna. Fry to your liking turning frequently as not to burn. Transfer to one piece of your bread on the un-mayo side.
- Fry an egg. You will have plenty of grease to fry it inches Poke yolk. Flip. Add a slice of cheese to cooked side. Fry it through. Transfer to on top of bologna.
- Put other slice of bread over. Mayo side out. Transfer to fry pan. Grill it like you would a grilled cheese sandwich. I put Frank's Red Hot cayanne pepper sauce as a condiment. (milder than Tabasco) -- use whatever condiment you want or leave it plain! Super YUMMY!

Tips:
- Use high-quality bread for the best results. A sturdy bread, like sourdough or whole wheat, will hold up well to the fillings and won't get soggy. - Butter the bread before grilling it. This will help to create a golden brown, crispy crust. - Use a good quality cheese that melts well. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, and Gruyère. - Don't overcrowd the pan when grilling the sandwiches. This will prevent them from cooking evenly. - Cook the sandwiches over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bread from burning and the cheese from overcooking. - Add your favorite toppings to the sandwiches. Some good options include bacon, avocado, tomato, and sprouts. - Serve the sandwiches immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.Conclusion:
