Potential VP Applicant Pepper & Egg Sandwiches

Makes 6 servings


This could potentially be your favorite sandwich.

1 thin French or Italian baguette (8 oz.), split
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
6 eggs

3 Tbsp. milk

1 red pepper, roasted, peeled, seeded and chopped

½ cup mild giardiniera, drained

1-1/2 cups lightly packed arugula leaves

Salt and pepper

Heat oven to 400°F. Combine olive oil and garlic.  Brush cut sides of bread with 3 Tbsp. mixture.  Sprinkle with cheese.  Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until crisp and golden brown on edges.


Mix together eggs, milk, roasted peppers and giardiniera.

Heat remaining oil and garlic in large nonstick skillet.  Add egg mixture; cook over medium heat 2 min.  Sprinkle with arugula and add salt and pepper to taste.  Cook 2 min. or until set, stirring occasionally.

Fill prepared bread with egg mixture.  Cut evenly into 6 sandwiches and serve immediately.


Tip:
Substitute 1/2 cup jarred roasted red peppers, drained and chopped, for red pepper that is roasted, peeled, seeded and chopped.
