Fried Bologna & Mozzarella Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Fried Bologna & Mozzarella Grilled Cheese Sandwich from Lemony Thyme

We’re celebrating National Grilled Cheese Month one tasty sandwich at a time.  This grilled cheese sandwich was inspired by one of my favorite deli sandwiches.  Boar’s Head Beef Bologna with Mozzarella on Italian bread with mayo.  And sometimes tomato.  My love of bologna started very early on.

Fried Bologna

My brother and sister and I have come to realize that many of the foods we grew up on (and fell in love with) were the ‘affordable’ ingredients.  We ate a lot of ground beef, eggs, pasta and bologna & cheese sandwiches.  Heck, we ate bologna for breakfast.  I remember sunny summer mornings when mom would set the picnic table in the backyard for breakfast.  We’d have scrambled eggs, baked beans, fried bologna, buttered toast, orange juice, home fries, sliced tomatoes.  Aaaah.  Those were the carefree happy days that make me yearn for summertime and great big hearty breakfasts.
