ITALIAN PEPPER AND EGG SANDWICH
Although, you can find this sandwich on the menu at many diners, my favorite place to get one of these is right in my own kitchen. Back in the day, when the Catholic religion had a "no meat on Fridays" rule, Mama often made these for Friday lunch (and, sometimes, supper) for my brothers and me. In Chicago, especially during the Lenten season, many of the Italian beef stands offered this sandwich as an alternative to meat on Fridays ( I think that this is possibly how this sandwich came about). Whatever the case, I love this sandwich (and, I don't wait til Friday) and it brings me back to a simpler time!!!!

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.
PEPPER 'N EGG HOAGIE
I have hemmed and hawed about putting this recipe on here because a dear friend of mine that owned a sub ship in Pattsburgh, New York gave it to me. He's retired now, so I don't think he would mind. Now this is something that you just have to try before making up your mind about it. I was pregnant with my son when we lived...

Steps:
- 1. Cut and seed one large red pepper, and cut into one inch strips. Coat skillet with olive oil. Cook peppers in skillet on low heat until they are soft. In the meantime, beat eggs with a splash of cream, salt and pepper and garlic salt. Pour eggs in with the peppers and stir until done, incorporating the pepper into the eggs. Spread buns or sliced Italian bread with pasta sauce and layer on the eggs. Sprinkle each with fresh parmesan cheese. I usually wrap mine in foil and stick in the oven for a little while to get the buns soft and warm.
