WESTERN SANDWICH (WITH POP'S SECRET INGREDIENT)



Western Sandwich (With Pop's Secret Ingredient) image

This Western sandwich, also known as a "Denver sandwich," is basically an easy omelette recipe with ham, bell pepper and onion stacked high on toasted bread. While totally optional, cheese is added to the mix for extra yumminess. This classic egg sandwich is delicious for a summer picnic, as a hearty breakfast, lunch or dinner with a side!

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 to 4 tablespoons butter or margarine (divided (approximately))
1/4 bell pepper (divided and small dice (about 2 tablespoons per sandwich))
4 large eggs
1/4 salt (pinch for each omelette)
1/4 freshly ground black pepper (pinch for each omelette)
1/4 garlic powder (pinch for each omelette)
1/2 cup small dice cooked ham or bologna (divided (1/4 cup per sandwich))
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 stalk green onion (divided and chopped (about 1 tablespoon per sandwich or 1 tablespoon minced yellow onion))
4 slices white sandwich bread (or your favourite variety)

Steps:

  • Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a small non-stick frying pan (I use a non-stick frying pan that's around 7 inches in diameter) over medium heat.
  • When melted, add bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes until softened slightly. Transfer bell pepper to a small bowl.
  • Make one sandwich at a time. In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs. Add a pinch each of salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Next, add half each of cooked ham, bell pepper, cheese and onion. Whisk to combine.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon of butter to pan.
  • Once butter is melted and foamy, pour in egg mixture. Cook for 1 minute or so and then gently swirl to allow excess eggs to flow around pan and underneath the egg itself, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Carefully flip to cook other side or (do what I did) and fold egg over so it's a half-moon shape and continue to cook, about 1 to 2 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Once the omelette is cooked, remove from pan, cut in half and place between two slices of toasted, buttered bread. Repeat to cook second sandwich. Can keep first sandwich warm in the oven on 200 degrees Fahrenheit (or wrap instead) while cooking the second sandwich. Serve and enjoy!

THE DENVER OMELET



The Denver Omelet image

A change of pace from a French omelet, the Denver omelet is known for its firmer texture and caramelized flavor. It's one of the first foods I've ever learned to cook professionally, as a line cook in high school. Make it a complete lunch or dinner with arugula salad and toasted bread.

Time 20m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large eggs
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup diced smoked ham
2 tablespoons diced onion
2 tablespoons diced green bell pepper
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
⅓ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Beat eggs until just combined; do not over-beat.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over high heat. Add ham, onion, and bell pepper. Sprinkle in a nice pinch of salt and a touch of pepper. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until onions start to soften and ham begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the eggs. Mix briefly with a spatula while shaking the pan to ensure ingredients are evenly distributed. Quickly run the spatula along the edges of the omelet.
  • Sprinkle Cheddar cheese and cayenne pepper over the omelet. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the top is still wet but not runny, about 5 minutes. Fold omelet in half with your spatula and transfer to a plate.

DENVER OMELET



Denver Omelet image

The Denver omelet - a diner classic of eggs, bell peppers, onions, ham and often cheese - actually began as a sandwich made with those ingredients in the American West in the late 19th century. Its exact origins are fuzzy, but some historians think it was a modification of egg foo yong made by Chinese laborers working the transcontinental railroad, or a scramble made by pioneers masking spoiled eggs with onions. (Bell peppers were likely a later addition.) When the sandwich became popular in Utah, it was named the Denver sandwich after Denver City, Utah. By the 1950s, the Denver was one of the most popular sandwiches around, and at some point in the mid-20th century, diners swapped the sandwich bun for a knife and fork.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 large eggs
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small green bell pepper, seeds and stem removed, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
Black pepper
4 ounces ham steak or Canadian bacon, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 ounces coarsely grated Monterey Jack or pepper Jack (heaping 1/3 cup)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside.
  • In a medium (10-inch) nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high. When foaming, add the bell pepper and onion, season lightly with salt and pepper and stir to coat in the butter. Shake into an even layer and cook, undisturbed, until browned underneath, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the ham and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to another medium bowl, add the cheese, and stir to combine.
  • Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium-low. Add 1/2 tablespoon butter and swirl to coat the pan. Whisk the egg mixture and pour half into the skillet. Cook without touching until the eggs around the edges of the pan are set, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Using a spatula, slightly pull the edge of the omelet in toward the center and, while holding the spatula in place, tilt the pan so that the egg runs to the empty skillet. Repeat this around the edge of the whole circle until the surface is nearly set but still shiny. (No runny egg will travel when you tilt the pan.)
  • Spoon half the vegetable mixture onto half the egg, cover the skillet with a lid or baking sheet, and cook until the egg is set and the cheese is melted, 1 to 3 minutes. Run the spatula around the edges, then fold the naked half over the filling. Slide the omelet onto a plate, then repeat with the remaining butter, egg and filling.

Time 50m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large slice sourdough bread
2 -3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
4 large eggs
salt
fresh ground black pepper
hot pepper sauce (optional)
4 bacon, slices chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 small green bell pepper, chopped

Steps:

  • Generously butter both sides of each slice of bread.
  • Cook the bread on a griddle over medium heat until lightly brown and crisp on both sides, about 8 minutes.
  • Keep the bread warm.
  • Briefly whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper and 2 tablespoons water.
  • Add splashes of hot sauce if desired.
  • Whisk just enough to combine the yolks and whites barely.
  • Warm a 7- to 8-inch omelet pan or skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium heat.
  • Scatter half of the bacon in the pan and cook until brown and crisp.
  • Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain it.
  • Add half of the butter to the pan, swirling it to coat the entire surface thoroughly.
  • Stir in half the onion and bell pepper, and saute until softened and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Increase heat to high.
  • Add half of the egg mixture and swirl it to coat the entire pan.
  • Let the pan sit directly over the heat a few seconds, until the eggs firm in teh bottom of the pan.
  • Sprinkle the cooked bacon evenly over the eggs.
  • Tilt the pan so the uncooked egg can flow to the bottom of the pan.
  • The eggs should cook just a touch longer than a traditional omelet, remaining moist but not wet at the center.
  • Pull the pan sharply toward you several times, and then tilt the pan so that the back half of the omelet begins to roll over the front portion.
  • Use a spatula to help fold over the eggs evenly.
  • The omelet should be golden outside.
  • Tip the omelet out onto one of the grilled bread slices, shaping it with the spatula, if needed.
  • Top with the other slice of grilled bread; halve if you wish, and serve the first sandwich.
  • Wipe out the skillet and immediately repeat the process with the remaining bread and filling ingredients.
