A Buckeye Breakfast Sandwich is a thick slab of Lebanon Bologna, aged cheddar cheese, and a fried egg served on toasted wheat bread that has been slathered with dill mayonnaise – a tasty family favorite and quick recipe that takes less than 10 minutes!

Making this amazing breakfast sandwich is so simple that this might be less of a recipe and more of a sandwich idea instead! Anyway, if you can fry and egg and drop some toast, you can make this awesome dish.

I love it because it doesn’t have any greasy cleanup and it’s a nice change from the usual breakfast meats. I’m just sayin, if you have never tried Lebanon Bologna, you have been missing out! Seriously. It is made out beef, lightly spiced and is like a semi-dry salami. A good substitute if you have trouble finding it is Sweet German Bologna. For a delicious meatless breakfast sandwich, you might want to try aCheesy Egg Sandwich with Smoked Scallion Sauce.

In case you were wondering, the sandwich is named after my state. Ohio is called the Buckeye State and if you live here, you are a Buckeye. Plain and simple. That’s just how we roll!

Without further delay, let’s get to the recipe. This is what you will need to make 4 (four) these hearty Buckeye Breakfast Sandwiches –

8 slices whole wheat bread
4 large eggs
4 thick slices Lebanon Bologna
4 slices aged cheddar cheese
1/4 cup good mayonnaise
1 tsp fresh dill
salt and pepper to taste

Get started by making the dill mayonnaise. Just measure out the mayo and stir the dill in. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to let the flavors blend.

Next, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high until hot. Place the bologna slices in the pan and fry until the bologna starts to crisp at the edges and is heated thru. Using a spatula, remove from skillet and cover to keep warm.

In the same skillet over medium heat, add the eggs being careful not to break the yolks. Salt and pepper to taste, cover and cook sunny side up until the whites are firm, but the yolk is still soft, about 4 minutes. While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread. When toasted, spread 4 slices of toast with dill mayonnaise. These will be the top of the sandwiches.

When the eggs are nearly done, place a slice of cheese on each egg, turn off the heat and replace the cover to allow the cheese to melt.

Build each sandwich by layering the toast, bologna, egg and cheese. Top with second slice of toast that has been spread with dill mayonnaise. Slice in half to break the yolk. Enjoy!

    Hi Cristina, to answer your question…yes, this sandwich is my creation. Even though Lebanon Bologna originated in Pennsylvania with the Pennsylvania Dutch, and is a Penn State tailgating favorite, it’s very popular in Ohio. It’s found locally in the many Amish markets and restaurants operating in Ohio, and is stocked in larger grocery stores. While tailgating food favorites are as diverse as the fans, this is our pick for any OSU Buckeye game day breakfast. I hope that helps?.

    Hello from California. I am making this sandwich to showcase a brand of Tillamook aged cheese we carry. I was wondering if this sandwich is your creation, or a common breakfast sandwich in Ohio. I seem to have researched a sweet Lebanon bologna and looked at recipes on the website in which think they mentioned this sandwich as being a tailgate favorite for a particular college? Educate a Westerner here… lol Thank you.
