Pepper and Egg Sandwich

eggs (beaten)

green bell peppers

pepper

onions

deli-style rolls (or 3 hero (sub, hoagie) rolls)

olive oil

water

salt

black pepper

In a large pan saute the peppers and onions in a ¼ cup of olive oil over medium heat for 2 minutes then add the water and cover.  Cook for 8 minutes or until peppers and onions are soft.

Remove the lid and continue to cook the peppers and onions for 2 minutes more to evaporate a bit of the water.  Add the remaining olive oil and season the peppers and onions with salt and pepper.

Turn heat to medium-low and add the well-beaten eggs into the pan.  Scramble the eggs until just cooked.  Turn off the heat and taste test.  Adjust salt and pepper if required.

Once satisfied, pile the pepper and eggs onto round or hero rolls and eat right away. Enjoy!

Every Friday for school lunches it was either peppers and eggs or spinach and eggs.  Love them both and still make them for my family.  Do you ever make spinach and egg sandwiches?

I took this with me for school lunch all the time. I wasn't a PBJ or cold cut lover. I'm going to have to make this tomorrow!!

I love NY and pepper and egg sandwiches. But the recipe is from Chicago, let’s give some credit where it is due.

Love these. My mother made theses when we went to the beach and when my dad went fishing. I love all the great tips and additions. Will be my go to during lent!  Thanks for sharing!

I love this recipe!  My father always made this when i was a little kid when we went down the Jersey Shore, perfect beach sandiwiches, especially when you have 6 kids!
I use the Italina frying peppers.  Thank you so much for this recipe.  I was too little to know how he made it and it brings back sweet family memories.

Jim, all your recipes are top notch and many bring back such tasty memories.  Peppers and eggs. Can’t stop laughing. In my day this was at least a once a week staple for a school lunch. And it was the days before tin foil. Despite layers of wax paper and brown bags, they leaked. But such a delicious aroma… Thanks again your show and your tips. Ed
