Italian Pepper And Egg Sandwich Food

PEPPER AND EGG SANDWICH

Steps:

• Cut the bell peppers in half, remove the seeds and stems, and then slice the peppers into 1/2-inch-wide strips and then cut the strips in half so they're about 1 1/2 inches long. Cut the onion into chunks or strips the same size as the peppers.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk and season with half the salt and half the black pepper.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until it starts to dance. Add the peppers and onion along with the remaining salt and black pepper. If you don't care for your vegetables to be blackened at the edges, turn the heat down to medium or medium-low. Cook until the veggies are your desired tenderness, 5 to 10 minutes. Your entire house will smell like peppers and onions-and that's a good thing.
• Turn the heat down to medium if you haven't already. If you want a richer pepper and egg sandwich, add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet and let it melt.
• Add the beaten eggs to the skillet and cook, stirring almost continuously with a fork or spatula, until they're sorta fluffy and scrambled but still a little soft, 2 to 4 minutes. (Because the eggs are scrambled with vegetables, they're not going to be as fluffy as they may be if you made them in a skillet by themselves. That's okay. It's not about looks. Just wait'll you taste it.)
• Remove from the heat and, if desired, sprinkle with cheese.
• Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise and open it. Cut the loaf crosswise into three 5- to 6-inch portions. Using your fingertips, scoop out some of the bread from the crust to make space for the peppers and eggs and reserve the bread for bread crumbs another day. If desired, slather the cut sides of the bread with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
• Pile the eggs and peppers on the bread. Serve the sandwiches immediately and feel free to plonk a bottle of hot sauce on the table alongside. Originally published April 19, 2018.

ITALIAN PEPPER AND EGG SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender, about 15 minutes. Add the minced garlic during the last couple of minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and ground pepper. Beat until well mixed. Add the egg mixture to the pepper mixture in the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are set, about 5 minutes.
• Serve in the hoagie rolls (or, on slices of Italian bread). And, if you like hot stuff, add a little hot (as in spicy hot) giardiniera to top it off.

ITALIAN EGG SANDWICH

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a heavy small skillet over medium heat. Crack the egg into the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the white is firm and the yolk is almost set, about 4 minutes. Season with salt.
• Meanwhile, toast the bread until golden brown. Rub the garlic over the toast. Sprinkle with the Parmesan. Spoon the drained marinara sauce over the Parmesan. Top with the egg. Place the open-faced sandwich on a plate and serve.
• In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, basil, and bay leaves and simmer covered on low heat for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and check for seasoning. If sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors.
• Add half the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
• If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and pour 1 to 2 cup portions into freezer plastic bags. This will freeze up to 6 months.
