As for peppers and eggs, or potato, peppers and eggs...never taste as good as mom's. Still a great sandwich (she uses Italian frying peppers - the green bell peppers always gave her agita!)

Yes, the long skinny green Italian frying peppers. Great in peppers & eggs.
I know a quick tip if you do not have fresh peppers in the home and crave the sandwich.
Keep small jars of Progresso roasted peppers in olive oil in the pantry.
Heat them in a saute pan and crack your eggs, etc......mix/ pour over peppers..........it's a good substitute for the real thing.
I like the semi crunch of the real , fresh from the farmers market , Italian frying peppers..........but Progresso has some good pantry staples.
Send me your Mom !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still have my mom's room here; unfortunately she passed at age 91. Now our grandaughter uses it when she visits.
How blessed you are to still have her ..........and cooking at that.
God bless her.
