### Instructions
1. **Prepare the Bologna:** If your bologna slices are not already scored, make a small slit (about an inch long) in the center of each slice. This prevents the bologna from curling up into a dome while cooking, ensuring even browning.
2. **Heat the Pan:** Place a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, or spray lightly with cooking spray.
3. **Fry the Bologna:** Once the pan is hot, add the bologna slices. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the edges are nicely browned and slightly crispy, and the bologna is heated through.
4. **Toast the Bread (Optional but Recommended):** While the bologna is frying, you can toast your bread lightly in a toaster or in the same pan after removing the bologna.
5. **Assemble Your Sandwich:** Spread your desired condiments on the bread. Place the hot fried bologna on one slice of bread. If using cheese, place it directly on the hot bologna to allow it to melt slightly. Add any other desired toppings.
6. **Enjoy!** Top with the second slice of bread, cut in half if you wish, and savor every bite of this comforting classic.
### Short Tips
* For extra flavor, try using a little bacon fat instead of butter for frying.
* Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry the bologna in batches if necessary.
* A slice of sautéed onion or a fried egg can take your fried bologna sandwich to the next level.
* Experiment with different types of bread – sourdough or rye can add an interesting twist!
* The key to a truly great fried bologna sandwich is getting those edges a little crispy!
