This is how you make the ultimate Chicago Style Pepper and Egg Sandwich. Soft scrambled eggs, stewed sweet peppers and Turano French bread ( the same bread used for Italian beefs in Chicago) give this pepper and egg recipe the true Chicago flavor.
The secret to this Lent recipe is stewing peppers the day before. It makes the flavor so much better by allowing all of the spices to infuse into the peppers. This is the best sandwich in the world during lent! I use green bell peppers, the same peppers for Italian beef sandwiches.

1 green bell pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dry oregano
1 tsp granulated garlic
