Simple Pleasure from Childhood: Peppers and Eggs

[Lodestar]

Mexicans eat potato and egg burritos and the people who taught me about frying potatoes and stirring in scrambled eggs were from TX.

I do this now and add onions too. I never thought to make it into a sandwich though, I just plate it and eat it! Didn't know it was a "thing" either I just assume most everything can be scrambled with eggs!

Mom would fry peppers with some olive oil (usually green bell, sometimes red too). and then scramble eggs and make like an big omelete (no cheese). More like a big pan of scrambled eggs with fried peppers.

Just made two big batches this week. Man, brings back memories, now I wanna go crabbin'!

Yes Mom was Italian.

Pepper and egg subs were big in the Boston area especially on Fridays back when Catholics could not eat meat as were tunafish subs, and fried eggplant with cheese and pasta sauce subs. All no meat.

Down in Florida most people would not combine the two and just have the potato and egg separate..

The only time I put catsup on eggs is when they are combined with potatos..

There is a pizza place in East Islip that makes a potato, onion and egg pizza. It's to die for. No sauce just potato egg, onion and cheese. I am in the mood for this now. I will have to make this over the weekend.
