AuthorKevin PetrizioThis is an Italian favorite. The pepper and egg sandwich. You choose how spicy you want to make it by the peppers that you use. I used a mixture of long hots and red bell. That gave me a medium heat level. Use just some bell peppers if you don't like spice.
Toast 2 slices of bread
Dice the onion and pepper into ¼ inch pieces. For the peppers, I used a combination of green long hots and red bell. Use whatever type you like.
In a small non-stick frying pan heat the olive oil over medium low heat.
Add peppers and onion and cook for 2 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper
Add the water, cover and let veggies steam for 2 minutes.
Remove the lid and allow water to evaporate.
Scramble 2 eggs and season with salt and pepper
Pour into the pan right over the veggies.
Lower the heat to just above low.
Stir eggs and veggies until eggs just start to set
Shape eggs into a square or rectangle shape (depending on your bread).
Allow to set for a minute and then flip like a pancake.
After another minute they should be ready.
Season with the Italian seasoning and place on the bread. (If you want to go more to the Tex-Mex flavor, skip the Italian seasoning and use a pinch of cumin and chili powder).
