Begin by slicing the tomato into thin rounds and set aside. You will need about 4 slices per sandwich.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the vegetarian bologna slices to the skillet and fry them for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are nicely browned and slightly crispy around the edges. Remove from skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to blot any excess oil.
In the same skillet, lightly toast the bread slices until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes per side.
While the bread is toasting, mix the mayonnaise and mustard together in a small bowl.
Once the bread is toasted, spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Layer each sandwich with 2 slices of fried bologna, a slice of cheddar cheese, 2 slices of tomato, a couple lettuce leaves, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Top with the remaining toasted bread slices, spread side down, to complete the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Classic Fried Bologna Sandwich!
