WESTERN OMELET SANDWICH
By Gloria Pitzer, as seen in… Gloria Pitzer’s Cookbook – Best Of The Recipe Detective (Balboa Press; Jan. 2018, p. 185). [A revised reprint of Gloria Pitzer’s Better Cookery Cookbook (Secret RecipesTM, St. Clair, MI; May 1983, 3rd Edition).]
Another truly American sandwich creation!
INGREDIENTS [per sandwich]:
2 eggs
2 TB grated or minced green pepper
½ cup cooked ham, diced
2 TB minced onion
Dash of salt & pepper
3 TB butter, melted
2 slices of bread, each buttered on one side
INSTRUCTIONS:
For each sandwich, beat eggs until frothy; then, beat into that: grated or minced green pepper, cooked ham (diced), and minced onions. Add a dash of salt and pepper and cook the egg mixture in melted butter, in a small skillet, until egg is lightly browned but still soft in the center.
Flip it over onto a slice of bread, buttered-side-down. Add a top slice of bread, buttered-side-up and place the sandwich in the skillet to grill both sides in the remaining melted butter until golden brown. Serve at once.
