This is the Denver Sandwich I remember from childhood. Growing up in the Midwest during the '60's this was a standard offering on most, if not all cafe and coffee shop menus. As other reviewers suggest, you COULD add cheese, but the sandwich we grew up with was served without. Thanks for the great recipe and the memories Chef Dee !! -
Long a standard in our home growing up. The only addition we used was always a thin slice of dill pickle. Can't imagine the sandwich without it. (And I'm not usually a pickle eater.) -
I grilled these rather than serve on toast, just personal preference. I don't think the butter within the egg mixture was necessary, would not use that again. Needed salt and pepper. We added cheese, because can't have a sandwich without :)<br/>thanks for the recipe. -
A great hearty sandwich that we enjoyed for lunch. I did make a couple of changes. I added red onion instead of green onions, used half-in-half instead of milk and added a slice of Havarti Cheese on top. My DH was able to eat his but it was too big for me though I did eat about 3/4 of it. Thanks for a great sandwich Chef Dee. Made for Chef Dee Cook-a-thon. -

These were really good and easy to make. I followed the recipe except I used green peppers insteavd of green onions and added onion powder. I also added pepper and salt. I used olive oil instead of margarine in the pan. We also added cheese to ours. I eat low carb so I didn't eat mine on bread but the rest of the family did. It was great both ways. I also made this for freezer tag. I made the eggs as directed but I froze them individually. The night before cooking, I pulled and let thaw in the fridge. I heated in the microwave and added cheese. This made for a quick breakfast for my boys in the morning. This is a good versatile recipe that you can add and omit ingredients.
