How to Make Italian Peppers And Egg Sandwiches

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). Place ciabatta bread slices on a baking sheet and warm in the oven until needed.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced, and 1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced. Sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add 2 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced, and cook for 1 minute until heated through.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped.
  5. Keep the pepper mixture warm.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper until light and frothy.
  7. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  8. When butter is melted and foamy, pour in the egg mixture.
  9. Gently push the eggs with a rubber spatula in a figure-8 motion to create soft curds. Cook until just set but still creamy and moist, about 7 minutes.
  10. Transfer the cooked eggs to the bottom halves of the warmed ciabatta bread.
  11. Top with 2 slices provolone cheese (or cheese of your choice).
  12. Spoon the warm pepper and prosciutto mixture over the cheese.
  13. Top with the remaining ciabatta bread slices.
  14. Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh fruit, if desired.
