Okay so maybe there is no such thing as bologna bacon but that's what I'm calling it. I smoked a 3 pound chunk of bologna awhile back and the left overs were floating around in the freezer. The wife is gone for a few days dog sitting for the son and his fiance while they are on vacation.

Wanted breakfast this morning and no bacon or breakfast sausage in the house so bologna bacon it is. Fried it up to get a little carmelization on it and served it up with eggs and American fries. Farm fresh eggs right from the hen this past Sunday. Our neighbor up at the lake raises laying hens and keeps us well supplied with fresh eggs.

The yellow color from farm fresh is amazing as is the flavor. I usually put a little hot sauce on my eggs but I didn't want to mask any of that fresh flavor. Damn good way to start the day!!

Somebody had a great breakfast

Nothing quite like fried bologna. I like those home fries.

Over medium for me. The yoke sits up far higher on fresh eggs than otherwise. I'm famous for flipping eggs without a spatula. And frying toasted bread in butter immediately after plating the eggs.

I've enjoyed fried bologna but not smoked fried bologna. *yum*

If you have any bologna left slice it off the round about half an inch thick. Brown it on both sides in a skillet and put in on bread with mustard pickles and bbq sauce.

I do have chunk left and that sounds like a damn good way to use it up! Thanks!

I can't eat eggs with a runny yolk. It's scrambled or hard boiled for me and that's it. So how do you flip eggs without a spatula? Sounds interesting. I fry english muffins in butter quite often and spread them with raspberry jalapeno jam.

Smoked bologna is a treat. I need to do it more often. It absorbs the smoke very well.

That sound you hear...yeah, it's my belly grumbling right about now.

Looks delicious.

I used to hate hate hate a runny egg,

started having eggs benedict at some local foodie places for brunch and found out it is not that bad (poached, but not hard)

as far as flipping,

enough butter in the pan and it is easy to do, once you get the hang of it,


we buy local farm eggs at the farmers market, they make the best omelets

butter in the pan to keep them from sticking while you pile on the ingredients, and a light fold,

delicious

How to flip an egg. Pretty good five minute video.

Rather than practicing with toast, I use a large plastic can lid, 4-3/4” in diameter.

With a 7" skillet (rounded edges) with non-stick coating, and over the sink. Mo'butter does produce 300˚ splashes. Swirl product in pan to ensure it is loose, get your rhythm, and proceed authoritatively.

I do this when visiting to the great delight of my host, who requires two spats to flip her egg (and even then it sometimes breaks apart).

Nice.

I would've diced up the bologna, and made an omelet. Mix the bologna with the potatoes, onions and peppers, add the beaten eggs. Gives me an idea with Oktoberfest happening..
