Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Italian sausage
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 Green bell pepper
- 1 Yellow onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 6 Large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 4 Hero rolls
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese (optional)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausages from the skillet and slice them into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Set aside.
While the sausages cook, thinly slice the red and green bell peppers, and the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still soft, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Toast the hero rolls by slicing them open and spreading the remaining butter on the cut sides. Place the rolls under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
To assemble the heros, layer the scrambled eggs, sausage slices, and sautéed peppers and onions inside each roll. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese on top and place the sandwiches back under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sausage Pepper and Egg Heros!
