Italian Sandwich #1 (Sausage and Pepper Sandwich)

"This is a simple, quick-to-make sandwich that I threw together one morning before heading out the door to work. I rarely eat traditional breakfasts and really love things with zip, flavor, and zest; this sandwich really worked well for that! Normally, I make this kind of "Dago" with tomato sauce, but I was out of time. I'll post that varient, later."

directions

  • Form a patty from the Italian sausage no thicker than 1/2" in the rough shape of the bread. In a skillet over medium heat, fry the sausage, adding a tiny bit of oil if it is too lean. Cook for 4-6 minutes on the first side or until it turns brown, then flip over for 3-4 more minutes.
  • Place the slices of roasted red pepper on the cooked side of the sausage while the raw side of the meat cooks. Cover with the cheese and continue cooking as it melts. NOTE: If the meat is done and the cheese has not yet melted, simply cover the skilled with a lid for a few moments, adding a few drops of water underneath for steam.
  • On the toaster's lowest setting, lightly toast the two slices of bread. Butter one side of each toasted slice of bread and place the meat/pepper/cheese on the buttered side. NOTE: If you have toasted only one side of the bread, this should be the outside.
  • Serve hot.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

A cooking enthusiast since a young age, I worked for several restaurants to get myself through college. After graduating with a degree in History (Ancient Civilizations), though, I ended up going to work in the Internet and Journalism worlds. During this time, I kept experimenting. I confess I do have diagnosed depression and anxiety, so my enthusiasm for cooking has flagged in recent years. It's difficult, at times, to find energy or drive. But every now and then I'll find something new to create and upload it, here. Thanks for following me and hanging in there during this relative slow period in my life.
