What a great sandwich Debbwl, I loved it. I used 2 large eggs instead of the egg substitute. I also halved the recipe and enjoyed it for my lunch today. A nice big thick sandwich, with perfectly scrambled eggs and very tasty fried sweet onions and red peppers. It had so much flavor. The sweet onions and red peppers really elevated this simple sandwich. Made exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for sharing this recipe, which I will make again.

Our variation: Peppers and eggs is a traditional Italian sandwich my father used to make but without the cheese and we usually use cubanelle peppers. We also sometimes added sauteed mushrooms to the peppers and onions and served this on Italian bread. I like mine with mayo. Both ways, yours or mine, are delicious!

These types of sanwiches are commonly found in the Northeast, but rarely with cheese. I made it with Edam on Ciabatta bread with olives. It was really outstanding and BF and I really enjoyed it for an easy weeknight dinner. I used half real eggs and half eggbeaters, used less oil and less cheese (about 1 - 1 1/2 ounces) to save calories. Thank you!
