Pepper and Egg Sandwich from The Sopranos

[@cys1953]

I’m 71 yo African American from the Bronx. The neighborhood I grew up in had many different nationalities. I used to go to my Italian friend’s house after school sometimes to do homework together and her Nonna would make us these for an after school snack. OMG they were so delicious. She told my Mom how to make them and we would have them regularly. I in turn often made them for my sons’ breakfast. Now I make them for my grandchildren. They love them.

I’m 75 and grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, a steel mill town between Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Peppers and eggs was a staple. It was served at home, at festivals and even some restaurants. Growing up in an Italian-American Catholic family, a pepper and egg sandwich was not uncommon on meatless Fridays.

​​​​@@FoodLovesCompany Many local Italian restaurants in Youngstown serve The Pepper and Egg. One great example is "The Fireplace" a great restaurant in Poland, Ohio, a suburb just southeast of Youngstown. If you ever come to Youngstown to visit or review a restaurant, I recommend the Fireplace. I've had great Alfredo, Lasagna, Fish Dinners. Many people also like their Eggplant Parmesan. A great representation of the Ethnic Italian and one great example of many of the diverse melting pot Youngstown is. The area also has many other great local restaurants to check out. From Charlie Staples Pitmasters in Downtown Youngstown, for barbeque to Tequila Jalisco's Mexican Restaurant in Canfield, Ohio, just to the southwest of Youngstown. Alot of Diverse options. Great and appetizing post. I shared it with a few of my family members.😊

It's so hard to describe how good a pepper and egg sandwich is to someone who has never had one. That was me over 20 years ago, until the day I went to a work site with no food places close by. My buddy was kind enough to offer me half of the pepper and egg sub that was packed by his wonderful Italian mother. I accepted, but quietly I expected it to be kind of uninteresting. I was so wrong. It was the best thing I'd ever had and for years after that, I kept an eye out for them whenever I was in a place where there was Italian-American food. I feel like getting some sub rolls and making one of these for lunch, now. Great video!

In 1975, when my future wife was a senior in HS, she waitressed at a popular Pizza parlor. One night the line cook didn't show up so the owner asked her to fill in. He told her that he would take care of the pizza and steak sandwich orders if she would do the rest. A customer asked for a scrambled egg on steak roll (from the famous Sarcone Bakery) sandwich with hot banana pepper rings. Thinking red must be hot, she added sweet red bell peppers instead and it became a favorite menu item listed as "Kate's Mistake".

@@GopiRai-r8g beautiful! Would love to try the Indian way ✌️😊

[@chasejiannalone8763]

My sicilian father used to make peppers & egg sandwiches. Close to this recipe. But try it with Mayonnaise on the bread. The best!

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@chasejiannalone8763 love mayo! ✌️😊

[@joePARKS]

Crazy... I wouldve never ever thought

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@joePARKS you’re in for a treat Joe if you make this ✌️😊

[@ronjones1414]

I haven't seen the show, but I love the sandwich. I like different color pepper, and I make my onion chunkier. I'll also do it on slices of sour dough sometimes.

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@ronjones1414 awesome and all variations sound great ✌️😊

[@ralphh4131]

I have that cook book lol. The pear desert is awesome.

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@ralphh4131 haha nice. I’ll have to try it ✌️😊

[@trublgrl]

I never had this sandwich, but an omelet with peppers and onions and a little toast is just the best. Super subtle flavors, but satisfying. I'll look for those frying peppers, too, that looks great.

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@trublgrl at the end of the day it’s basically an omelette with peppers and onions sandwiched between some bread 😂😂 Cheese is optional ✌️😊 The frying peppers are awesome. I’m making a stuffed pepper recipe with them soon

[@crabstick250]

Love a pepper and egg sandwich on a roll!! Also potato and eggs 😊

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@crabstick250 potato and egg is awesome as well ✌️😊

[@bobf6799]

My Mom Would make me pepper and egg sandwiches for lunch when I was in high school. At first I was kind of embarrassed to eat it because I thought it was sort of low class food and my friends would make fun of me. However, they all started asking me for pieces of my sandwich and my mother started getting phone calls from my classmates mothers for her recipe. Turned out their PB and J sandwiches weren’t cutting it. Mom and I had some good laughs over it. Great memories for me. ❤❤😊

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@bobf6799 my father tells a similar story but more so with cold cut sandwiches haha 😊✌️

[@dawnb5617]

I’m Italian and have lived in Chicago my whole life. I watched my grandparents and my mom make this classic. I still love it to this day. Good old green pepper and it has to be on turano bread….forget about it….🤌🏻

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@dawnb5617 wonderful! I assume Turano bread is a Chicago thing?

[@dawnb5617]

Yes! When we would go visit my grandparents my grandpa would always request 2 loaves of Torano bread. It’s a local bakery that delivers to Chicagoland grocery stores. Best bread imo.

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@dawnb5617 awesome!

[@godsu]

Never had Peppers and egg on a sandwich like this, looks good

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@godsu give it a try! Very tasty ✌️😊

[@DovidM-s4c]

Bell pepper, onion, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes sautéed in olive oil. Add eggs and grated cheese

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@DovidM-s4c nice 👍

[@Jimmyrig54]

I loved this sandwiche as a kid, and I could never make it taste nearly as good as my mother's. The best bread from a Boston bakery made the sandwich. It had an excellent crust. I don't think that soft bread would stand a chance against it even though the Saprano guy used it in the show. I'm not sure they ever used it in real life though.

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@Jimmyrig54 nothing like mamas cooking! The bread held up surprisingly very well and I ate it about half hour after filming. Then I made another one that stayed wrapped up in the fridge for the next day and it held up. Wasn’t the best but the sandwich was still intact and not crazy soggy. I was expecting to eat it with a knife and fork haha

[@JackOfNone97]

Haven’t had a good pepper and egg in a minute, my mom made them all the time growing up, might have to make one now

[@FoodLovesCompany]

It’s one of those sandwiches you might not have had in a while but when you do you ask yourself why you don’t have it more often haha ✌️😊

[@actionsub]

This is something new to me. I must try it!

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@actionsub I hope you enjoy it! It’s delicious and fairly easy to make ✌️😊

[@bjjbrawler1]

In the 90's this was my go-to when at work. Used to order this or a potato-egg-and-cheese sub. I need to get back in the routine lol.

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@bjjbrawler1 hahaha ya you do! It’s not a bad routine to get back into ✌️😊

[@zedudli]

If you toast the bread it will be even more delicious. Also a squeeze of lemon when cooking the pepper and onion won’t hurt anybody

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@zedudli for sure you can toast and adding anything extra should never hurt anybody! ✌️😊 I know it does though sometimes in the KZbin comments 😂🤪

[@Jay-ql4gp]

Thank you so much!

you're welcome but I should be thanking you for watching and leaving a comment. Much appreciated!

That's a fugettaboutit breakfast sandwich in NJ. Good place is tricks in newark. Take 22 to the slosson cut off, cut off your slosson, make a right and you'll see it on the corner

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@mrearlygold I’m sure it’s amazing ✌️😊

[@richspizzaparty]

My mom loved those growing up, it's a good sub.

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@richspizzaparty definitely ✌️😊

[@bristolfashion4421]

With a lot of this sort of type, there are many that are very similar to the ones that were before them as we know very often that they make it up and then take others down the back of an alley and are truely unpleasant. Its difficult - or at least it is if you’re a certain type. Italian maybe or else hungry… cook them however you like - its optional 😊

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@bristolfashion4421 ✌️😊

[@Red__Law]

I made this for me and my girlfriend. Added some French's mustard and it was sooo good.

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@Red__Law nice! Gonna have to try the mustard, haven’t done that before

[@gurbie]

The foil trick! I always do that with my BECs. I try to get that “take-out from the bodega” experience at home 😀

Can't wait to try this thanks for sharing

@@andrewchopin106 hope you enjoy it! ✌️😊

[@ConnorGuru]

F. this sandwich reminds me of Jersey. I’m used to it having a very sharp provolone which just takes this sandwich WAY over the edge imo. Just so so good.

[@FoodLovesCompany]

@@ConnorGuru big fan of sharp provolone ! ✌️😊

[@TonyButchT]

The Best! Big favorite in our home! Thank you!
