Peppers and Eggs Sandwich Recipe

A Peppers and Eggs Sandwich on a white plate.
Caroline Russock

Second only to the cold cut heavy Italian sub,Peppers and Eggsis about as Italian-American as you can get, sandwich-wise. This recipe, adapted fromDefonte'sin Brooklyn forThe Big New York Sandwich Book,is a spot-on home adaptation of the deli classic. Sautéed and simmered onions and bell peppers are scrambled with eggs, finished with a hefty handful of mozzarella, and piled into a crusty long roll. Don't try messing with any sort of highfalutin' fresh mozz here; it's not the place for it. This is one case where only the salty, rubbery supermarket will do. And as far as seasoning goes, salt and pepper is just about all you need since the eggs take in all of flavors of the onions and peppers. Throw on a few hot peppers if you're feelin' like a tough guy, but this sandwich is really all about its barebones heartiness.
