I cooked it more like a regular omelet and then transferred it to the broiler with the buttered bread and cheese. It tasted very good, the veggies were great. It is quite greasy just as a grilled cheese but good just the same. I can't see myself scrambling the eggs and having the veggies seperate. I thought I would but then it seemed easier and less messy to go the other route when I already had the frying pan out. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Love these sandwiches. I omit the cheese and mix hot sauce and/or various seasonings into the eggs while I scramble them. Usually use bacon. Thanks, Laurie!
