Italian Pepper and Egg Sandwich Recipe

- There's nothing better than a pepper and egg sandwich on either hero rolls or round hard rolls! The oily peppers (used bell and Italian frying peppers) and onions are the perfect match for the soft scrambled eggs. I made a traditional pepper and egg hero and also showed how it can be made with some spicy cherry peppers and mozzarella to make it even better. I hope you enjoy this New York classic!

So you and Tony Egg again.
Where's the key to the partner's crapper?
I'm not Italian and I never had a pepper and egg sandwich at home as I was growing up. But, early in my work life, I had a co-worker whose dear Italian mom always sent him to work with an enormous pepper and egg sub. One particular day, we didn't have much time for lunch and there was nothing around, so he offers me half of his pepper and egg sub. I gratefully/politely accepted, but silently thought it would be underwhelming. God, was I wrong. There is something amazingly comforting and wonderful about Italian pepper and egg sandwiches. (When I met this lady years later, I couldn't help but kiss, hug, and thank her for the sandwiches. I live in a place where there aren't a lot of ethnic Italian eateries, so I don't find them much. This video makes me want to go to the kitchen and make one right now. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Great story! It's so easy to underestimate this sandwich. I don't know what it is but the flavor combo is just perfect. There is something about this sandwich that instantly brings me back in time. I think I need to make one this weekend!
I'm an italian in Italy and I never heard of such panino frankly. It could be one of the many italian american food tha as you all well know evolved trought the emigrants over there but unknown by us such
I worked for a restaurant in 70s, we served 1000s of these!
@@paponeable A natural evolution,because maybe at one time,certain authentic Italian ingredients weren't available to the immigrants here,so they had to learn to improvise&make do!
And then of course through the different generations things changed,maybe were watered down a little?.
.But it's the Italian American experience..different to the European one of course,,but still valid and relevant!
@@jerryoshea3116 Hi Jerry. Frankly I disagree: italians emigrated all over, we had bilateral agreements with various Countries during those days. Argentina, Brasil, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, USA, New Zealand, Australia etc etc etc . We went all over. I wouldn't call it " natural evolution ", it didn't happen everywhere else! anywhere else and bare in mind that I travel truly all around the world for work..., Italians ( among them some of my families ancestors ) tried to keep their culinary traditions as italian as possible, they were even making at the beginning their food products that they couldn't find back then ( just think about little Italy and the mozzarella, prosciutto, salami, sousages, tomatoes in cans etc etc etc that they still makes nowadays... ), a natural " process " , which is not an evolution ..., would have been " some " changings throught generations due to obvious reasons. But in the USA we cannot talk of evolution, you did it with every kind of culinary traditions and not only. You won't find anywhere else recipies that claims to be italians when in Italy they never exixted! Fully invented over there with the italian sounding... And I do wonder why! Personally I do have some ideas on why that happened in the USA but obviosly they're only personal suggestions.
I don't get nostalgic for NYC much but the sights of that hero roll and that poppy roll has almost brought tears to my eyes!
I lived on these when I was a boy living in Brooklyn in the 50's. Such memories!
My father made these for us growing up. Sometimes my dad would add some sweet Italian sausage, too. I could eat those any meal in the day.
Growing up on Staten Island we would go to Cub Scout meetings at peoples houses (yeah they did that) one of the kids mother Mrs Barretta would make these for the group man did we devour them. The first time we tried them a couple of the kids swore they didn't like eggs but she said just try it. They liked eggs after that. We always looked forward to going to Paul's house from then on. We even learned how to make pasta from scratch. Real life skills!!!
I absolutely love the idea of removing some of the breading inside the roll. Ingenious!
Of course growing up Italian, these sandwiches were in regular rotation, especially in the summer with peppers fresh from the garden. We used to have peppers and eggs for dinner sometimes, usually on Fridays due the the old catholic “no meat on Friday” rule. Potato and egg sandwiches too. I wouldn’t mind seeing a video on that.
This is not exclusive to the NY area.
My 4'11" Sicilian mother used to make these for me and we lived in Chicago.
She's been gone since I was 9 yrs. old....and when I start feeling sad thinking about her and my dad, I turn to this.
It is my favorite comfort food of all time.
As I grew older and had kids, I made this for them and now I make it for my grands.
I'm sure she's watching over us and is happy I make these for everyone.
I discovered them in the Baltimore area. One of my favorite pizza places makes a very soft, crust. They use it to make pocket bread, with which they make their pepper egg sandwiches. The best!
I see you mention NY and Jersey, can't for get our South Philly grandma's food too. Happy cooking my
Good-man!!
My mom passed away in February at 93. She would make potatoes, onions and eggs and peppers, onions and eggs all the time. Occasionally she would combine the two. She would have loved your recipies and your videos. 😀 I miss her and you made me remember a beautiful memory. Thank you.
It's like therapy watching you prepare and talk through the meal, you have a nice way with people
Love these sandwiches along with the Potato and Egg. This type of food is an essential part of the whole Italian American experience. Very few food personalities and chefs give it any respect anymore.
Potato egg is definitely a great one! I hear what you are saying regarding this type of food. Part of the reason I made this channel was to showcase the Italian-American food that I and so many others grew up eating.
@ajalonzo Exactly!
Don't remember potato and egg sandwich or putting onion in the pepper and eggs
@@SipandFeast are you gonna do potato and egg next? I dont know that one
My Mom made these for me for school, great memories!
My Italian mom would always pack a pepper and egg sandwich for me to take to school. They were awesome!
Yeah; mine, too. That way, she could follow the oil drippings from the paper bag to make sure you got there! The only difference is, my Calabrese mother would put hot peppers in it, rather than the cherry peppers. BTW, you could walk down any street in south Philly and smell this being made.
@@dr.tomgio6694 Ha ha I remember the oil dripping and staining the paper bag! I was embarrassed many times with that oil getting on my desk, on my sleeves, etc. It even got on my papers! It took me a long time to figure out where this mysterious oil was coming from!
@@americanpatriot9865 Yup, and the paper napkins that went with the sandwich were useless by the time you needed them, as well. It was a bit embarrassing, I guess. Especially when nobody wanted to trade at lunchtime!
Over the years I have watched so many cooking shows on UA-cam that I've lost count and at some point every one sort of melds into one big Food show. You...you bring me back to my upbringing . You take me to traditions I grew up with. My mother, her sisters my father..all amazing cooks. Everything you make has so much meaning to me its actually emotional . Peppers and eggs , took me on a journey I wish I could repeat. But alas the people I loved who nurtured me and cooked like this are all gone. Thank you for doing what you do. It means so much to those of us who see food as more than sustenance ..its so much more.
Thanks very much! I'm glad that these recipes are connecting and bringing you back. I learned a lot from my Grandmother before she wasn't allowed to cook anymore. We had to turn off the gas to her stove. Probably a common story. She made this recipe all the time. Truth is I love all food, but I'm keeping this channel dedicated to just the food I grew up eating.
Bingo, Jerry!
With you, Jerry! Thank you, Jim, for keeping their spirits alive through your channel!
I hear you, Jerry. All of mine are gone now, too. Memories
piasan, we love you here. There is a special kind of italian food that is love. We got something on this channel. God bless.
Philly here chiming in, this sandwich is outstanding! Now I always have a batch of the sautéed peppers and onions in the fridge to put with just about everything; eggs, veggies, on top of cream cheese on my bagel with slices of tomato. That mixture has become an all purpose condiment in my house.
Brooklyn here, but from S. Philly. I make it with just sautéed peppers (with a little garlic and oregano) and eggs. Eaten on a Sarcone's roll, this is heaven.
gimme your recipe please
This is "Italian Soul Food"
I was in some diner on Old Country Road in Hicksville as a kid, with my Dad, and he ordered this for both of us. My first pepper and egg sandwich: Heaven. You are bringing back my childhood on LI - thank you!
Glad to bring you back. I lived around the Hicksville area for many years.
That sandwich is mouthwatering; I would have caramelized those onions and peppers a little more for those burnt bits to add more flavor, and toast the buns in the pan, with a smear of olive oil first. Love your videos.
Italians don't like you changing up their recipes! 😂
If you check out the comments, anyone that said they changed up the sandwich even a bit, got no love from the chef! It's hilarious! 🤣 I like this guy!
Everything you make feels like home. Not everything is exact, but very close, and you acknowledge and respect those minor differences or preferences we all have. I love pepper and egg or asparagus and egg heroes. Growing up on Long Island, I didn't realize how unique the food I regularly enjoyed was. Many recipes are unique to where we grew up in NY/Long Island Italian households, but what great food we grew up with! And, I regularly make them and share them with my family passing down the recipes to this day. I'm working on a family cookbook. It just feels important to pass on the favorites. Thank you for sharing yours!
I love it! Absolutely a staple of every deli and most Italian moms and grandma's kitchens. The short list of ingredients was always in the fridge.👍 As my dad aged and his appetite waned, we always knew a pepper and egg sandwich was one thing he couldstill enjoy. 😊 🇺🇸🇮🇹
I'm born and raised in South Carolina and I lived and worked in the Greater NYC/tri state area for over twenty years - I knew Italian food before I moved there but truly became enamoured of the astonishingly wide variety of the preparations and styles from all over Italy as well as the classic Italian American dishes. A freshly made Pepper and Egg wedge (sorry - hoagie, grinder, sub, wedge - that's how it was first introduced to me) on incredible fresh baked bread with melty provolone and mozzarella, oozing olive oil - OMG. I remember walking into my local pizzeria (three doors down from my apartment building, a 1900 era three story walkup) and waiting to order something and this older Italian guy was standing there waiting and watching as his Pepper and Egg sandwich was being made. I noticed as the cook griddled the red and green peppers, toasted the bread and lovingly folded the giant egg omelette overflowing with cheese and peppers into the warm, fragrant bread and handed it to the customer who turned around, sat down at a formica table and proceeded to devour it between slurps of a double espresso. I had to order one after that and fell in love. To this day, aside from real NYC pizza and freshly made mozzarella, a Pepper and Egg wedge is the one thing I get the most nostalgic for. Thank you for taking me back in time. You rock, my friend!
Thanks for sharing your story. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Yes! Wedge!
I made this sandwich all the time when I was a teenager growing up in South Carolina, when I was learning to cook. I had no idea that it was actually found in pizza spots in NYC. I put american cheese and hot sauce on mine, though.
Looking through your videos, this stands out for me. My Mom made these on Fridays. No meat back then. My Dad’s favorite. She used the Italian frying peppers or cubanelles. Only time she used green bell was for stuffed peppers. Mom used peppers, onions, eggs, fresh parsley and a ton of grated Romano cheese. OMG…. Such heaven. Every mom and pop pizzeria makes the 12 inch sandwich. My family is from Staten Island, moved to NJ in the 50s. With background in Calabria, Naples and Abruzzi, your cooking really takes me back to Sunday dinners, grandpa’s homemade wine and nanny’s pastas. They are all gone now. I live in the south east, not a cubanelle pepper in sight. I miss them and I miss being Italian. ❤️
I just tried this for breakfast and it is incredible. What a great recipe! Thanks for the video, and I agree with your wife. The cherry peppers are a great finisher for this sandwich. Thanks again.
Growing Up in Brooklyn NYC this was and still is a staple especially in my Italian Family. I still use my Grandmother's Recipe I like it on a hero with Fresh Mozzarella 👌
I didn’t eat eggs when I was younger. When I was at my first duty station in the Army, a seasoned NCO taught me to make Jalapeño Egg Sandwiches. That sandwich started me eating eggs and has become a favorite with everyone I’ve cooked for. A little different than this version but close enough to remind me how good those sandwiches were. Thanks for the reminder.
Made myself this sandwich for lunch today as a trial. Completely amazed by the combination! No cheese added, and no condiments needed. Fantastic recipe, glad I subscribed!
Thanks! Glad to hear it turned out great.
My dad used to make this when we went offroad motorcycling. One add to this is mayonnaise. It adds a piquant undertone that really works with the eggs.
@@chasejiannalone8763 Thanks for sharing, sounds like a great touch!
@@patrickfagan7326 I have trouble pronouncing the word ... lol
Work with an old timer from Hungary who shared this sandwich with me. Instead of olive oil duck butter was spread on the bread… try it if you hadn’t already. That’s was the one an only time I’d had it, some 40 yrs ago. Delicious! I’ll be making your version soon.
Duck Butter vomit !! I just googled it ,
I think Michael Jackson was a duck butter fan ... lol. he mentioned that in his interview thats why I had to google it , I knew I heard that somewhere .... hahaha.
nothing like an old Hungry man .. just busting your balls ( No pun )
I have so many childhood memories of peppers and eggs sandwiches. My mother and grandma made them all the time… every time we left NY my Aunt would make pepper and egg sandwiches for the drive home to Michigan. Love our Italian heritage!❤️
One of my favorite sandwiches
I’m not Italian, but I worked at a pizza shop where these we made these. We never added onions, but it’s something I’d definitely try. Personally, I don’t use/like bell pepper, but I do use a lot of cherry peppers. I’ll also use long hots if I have them. I use provolone, but long story short, it’s a great sandwich!
Besides being a good cook and teacher, you bring back a lot of memories growing up. Thank you!
These are common sandwiches in the Philadelphia region as well. My late grandmother told stories about how they would smuggle pepper and egg sandwiches on their plane trip to Las Vegas.
My favorite since I was 2 now 59 love it with crunchy Italian bread.
This one is 100%. This is how Mom made it. Same kind of peppers. It is not right if you use other peppers. I am not a big fan of the Cherry peppers, but a lot of people do add them. Sometimes I will add a few. Cherry peppers are not super spicey. More flavor than heat.
Potatoes, peppers, and eggs was a staple growing up in Brooklyn and over of my favorite meals. I hadn't had it in years and I just made it for the first time in over a decade. My husband is from NJ and he had never even heard of it, but now he's hooked!
I grew up on this sandwich.....easy to make and so yummy. I love breakfast for dinner. We ate this alot during lent when you cannot eat meat on Fridays.
Me too! My Grandma often cooked these in her kitchen below us. When I made this video the smell instantly brought back those memories.
This was a staple during Lent on Fridays.
Thank you!!!! Reminds me of my Italian grandmothers in Waterbury, CT. Large Italian population. Great memories.
Big smiles from me!! Grew up on LI,,im italian, went to Yankees games,so many memories with peppa n egg sandwiches
Made this recipe at work this morning for the fellas. Added some smoked sausage, it was 👌. Great vid as always
Hey Cullen! Great idea to add the sausage. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
I'm from New York and have had the pepper and onion with egg sandwich, which I love. Thank you for the great tutorial. I have been away from New York for a long time and have forgotten how wonderful these simple dishes are. Thanks for the reminder. I'm off now to make this!
A classic. Love a pepper and egg sandwich. Every pizza place by me makes them
Dude, ur killing me. I grew up on LI. I didn't remember the peppers & egg at the beach till you just said it. Mom always made it and always chewing with sand in it.
The things you miss. Gonna make it tomorrow. Cannot get the rolls here in Virginia though. Still a fav. Thanks for the memory. I miss the old times. Keep up the great channel.
Thanks man! I'm glad it brought you back.
My Sicilian mother in law made these on the west coast with sourdough bread/toast and red bell peppers. Delicious.
Really brought me back to my Italian mom and grandmom making these! Also laughed at “why don’t we make these more often!?” Was thinking the same thing!
Looks delicious. It's just missing out on the crucial extra flavor that toasting the bread adds.
Not toasting bread first is like not searing or browning meat first, or not caramelizing onions first. 🙂
@@jon8004 It’s more like steaming.
Thanks for sharing Jim. Brings back memories of when I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn & Connecticut.
This channel is great, nothing over complicated, everything calml and clearly explained, things anyone can do and very affordable. Big fan, food looks amazing. Watch out Sam the cooking guy.
Thanks for including me with him!
Great childhood memories for sure!! Grew up in Deer Park, Long Island and this was a staple in our house, along with stuffed artichokes!! We use green peppers also!!
My childhood in a sandwich. Thanks for posting!
Imma hillbilly I grew up eating beans and taters & cornbread. Love it. My hats off to the Italians, I get so hungry when I watch their style of food. Respect ! 👍
James I made your recipe for sausage and cheese pasta for a special friend for Sunday lunch. He loved it. We had lots left over, so I sent some home with him. He has loved everything that I’ve made from recipes on your channel. Thank you!
I have been only just found your channel, I have subscribed. Just wanted to say, I really love style, presentation, clear instructions and everything else. Chap you should really have an actually TV programme. You are a delight to watch. However I am diabetic, alot of your cooking is a no-go area for me. However I love watching the beautiful food you're making. And dont listen to the negative comments, they simply just can't do what you do.
What I’m about to say I might have said it on one of your other videos, You have a gift. Keep doing what your doing.
I really appreciate it.
ive lived in NY for 40 years and been to a lot of pizzerias and this video reminds me of seeing pepper and egg hero up on the menu boards of many of them, but i always thought weird/gross back then. Why would anyone want eggs at a pizzeria? Now i understand why. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I'm kinda dying to try one now at a place that's been doing them for a generation or more on excellent rolls
Glad to bring you back and I hope you enjoy it!
There's an Italian deli outside of Philadelphia that puts the egg filling in dough and then bakes it. It is heaven!
That sounds amazing and is a really good idea!
Pepper and egg, potato and egg, my Nona sent two generations to school with then. They were made a little differently, but so delicious.
Your recipes bring back fond memories of my grandmother, aunts and my mother’s cooking. Love your channel.
Love this sandwich!!!! I married into an Italian family and my mother in law makes a very similar version. Sooooo good and a perfect lent meal!
Love, Love Love!!! I grew up in Brooklyn and yes this sandwhich was always made whether in your grandmother's house or in a corner pizzeria and is always delicious!!!!! Old school Italian American recipes are the best! Thanks for sharing❤
Fantastic sandwich, I've been making this for years,My grandmother from Italy always made it for me when I was a kid, also Genoa salami with peppers and provolone sandwich baked,so good 👍
Thanks very much!
I'm from Jersey. Ya gotzta scoop da bread!
A great way to to have it!
I found your channel recently. I’m only sorry I didn’t find you sooner! Love your family, recipes, it’s definitely a throwback to the wonderful memories I have growing up in Brooklyn. Cheers! Keep up the great work. I now live in Miami, people here have NO Idea about this sandwich! Such a simple and delicious classic! Thank you for sharing it
My Italian friends always made this for me when we had breakfast on a weekend after being out the night before.
It was so delicious. Then they introduced me to other Italian dishes and I was hooked.
Gotta love the Italians and their wonderful food!
This is a weekly rotation right now, we're obsessed with these sandwhiches. My elderly mil called them an eastern Sandwich, I didn't know these were common in pizzeria's in the city. For us it's a great way to get some protein and veg in mil's diet. She will never refuse to eat these sandwiches. (We usually skip the cheese but I never thought to toast them with the egg mixture already on the bread, and we generally just have them on sandwich bread so I can't wait to try them on buns using your method). Thanks!
I remember summers at Robert Moses Beach #2 with pepper and egg sandwiches made by Mom. Fond memories.
I grew up in Brooklyn but I like the heat from the chile peppers with my eggs. I make mine with Fresno red chiles (medium hot ) Serrano chilies (hot), pablano/pasillo pepper (medium light heat is also known as a good steak pepper) and Habaneros (hot)
It's so good with hot chiles and I top it with fire cracker hot sauce..lol You can also sauté with some shallots for additional umami. The bacon, ham & cheese on top is so good with chiles & eggs!
Perfect for a quick dinner !!!
That looks fantastic! I will try this!
I'm Italian and my mom and Aunt's made these all the time. I miss this. Thank you!
I had pepper and egg sandwiches growing up, I also make my own to this day. One thing he forgot was garlic and extra olive oil, wonderful 👍
Bro, I am Puerto Rican from Newark NJ...Living in Florida. My family loves Italian foods..Wow... I grew up with this sandwich especially for breakfast and Lunch with Coffee or Chocolate..Nice presentation.....Keep those Italian sandwiches coming...Very Nice..
Great home cooking. My mom used to make food like this. Love it!
Outside Chicago and the only time you can find them is during Lent. Also growing up my father use to make scrabbled eggs with green onions and green peppers but never made them into a sandwich except with toast.
@Kosh2001, this was always a staple during Lent for me, I'm from NY.
Looks delicious. I made this growing up in Brooklyn except I included potatoes. If I wanted to get "fancy" I included a cut up hot dog.
Looks amazing!
So glad I found this show!!! This brings me back to when my Mom made these for us. Great memories!!!
Glad you're enjoying the vids!
💯 percent Italian pepper and egg sandwich! Amazing and again thank you for the recipe and process! My hubby is Italian and we have missed these wonderful dishes living so far from home! Thanks again!
Glad you enjoyed it!
A staple of many Brooklyn delis growing up. Potatoes and eggs too.
Lent is less than a month away, an excuse to starting frying some up. Have to use the long "Italian peppers". Great video.
Thank you!
Made em for dinner to bring on a river paddle with a friend of mine. He loved it and so did I, thanks for sharing.
Taking them on a trip is imo what this sandwich is made for. Thanks for watching!
Love peper and eggs. Great recipe. I find add salt at the very end to eggs preserves the color a little better. They tend to turn a little greyish in my experiences if I add too early.
Thank you man! I'll have to test it out with the salt at the end.
Turn your heat down and cook eggs in butter. Also make sure you beat the eggs really well allowing air pockets to infiltrate the scramblers eggs.
And yet another godsend recipe coming from Sip and Feast.
I was diagnosed with diabetes over 20 years ago, not a big fat fatty thou. I crash just as often as I run high.
Anyway there are certain rules I need to follow about eating.
1) try and break the fast with protein.
2) if eating pasta or bread 🥖 eat with a protein.
Gotta tell you eggs get yucky, but this is life changing.
Thanks 🙏
I used to get these from a street vendor in Chicago after exiting the train on the way to work! I will have to try these!
Was absolutely delicious!
The most accurate statement ever, " Every time I make this, why don't I make this more often?!"
This brings back memories of Saturday afternoon lunches with my grandparents. Thanks very much !!
Thank you!
I make this but I didn't know about the the frying or chili peppers, and some of the extra steps, thanks. Love this channel.
Hey thanks for the support! I really just love the standard pepper and egg, but had to include the mozzarella and chili peppers to make it at least a little different.
Every pizza joint in my area of north Jersey had pepper and egg sandwiches. They were great for breakfast or lunch.
My grandmother made this all the time in Ireland, not! but i'm making it this weekend, it looks the bomb!
Love this sangwitch - always a hoagie but I use provolone piccante shredded on the bread (and I do add the hots). So delicious.
Thanks for this video. Great recipe. I have been eating these forever.. What a great sandwich !
THANK YOU Sir for a great channel. Love your video segments. I made this recipe as directed and it came out great!
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you like it!
Texas lady, lived in the south all my life. Love these videos. I want to cook every dish you publish. Good food just translates well!
I live in a little town in CNY called Clinton. Got a little Italian restaurant here by the name of Alteris that has my absolute favorite sandwich called a Mort. Same idea, sweet and hot peppers, mozz, and pepperoni on a hoagie. Just makes me happy every damn time I have it.
BEST hangover sandwich EVER....
Brought back many memories! Gotta run out to get some peppers and a nice Italian roll! Thanks for the memories!
